There's life in the old dogs yet. Just when it looked as if the Lowestoft lads might be in need of a lifeboat, they rescue themselves with another rocktastic single.

Following up the first album was never going to be straightforward, and with several live attempts the new material was proving to be easy to like but harder to love. Yet it seems the catalyst for this new lease of life, rather than the end of the band, has been brought on by the departure of bassist Frankie Poullain. If Justin is to be believed, the group were beginning to get too serious, in danger of gazing at their tattooed navels.

One Way Ticket removes all of that at a stroke of the opening guitar, and Justin gets the opportunity to indulge himself in more nonsensical lyrics, screeching parts of the verse and belting out the chorus. As a bonus the 7" includes the belting Grief Hammer. Catchy as hell, in fact.
