There are some things that aren't really meant to work, but somehow do. Punk with a disco beat is one of these things.
We'll therefore forgive Hello Wembley for minor indiscretions such as being a good six months out of date on knowing the name of the Prime Minister they're railing against, or taking their politics from some Jam bootlegs committed to C90 before they were born, and pat them on the head for at least being passionate.
They may be the kind of angry young adolescents who don't really seem to know what they're angry about (other than grown-ups and the Government, of course) but they sound like they're spitting their punk invective over the Hacienda dancefloor, so all power to them.
Luckily, under closer scrutiny they're quick to point out that they don't take themselves too seriously and that all this is tongue in cheek. Thank God. This means we can dance along while laughing at their lyrics with impunity. Phew. For a minute there it looked as if they might be the new Enemy, but it turns out that it's safe to go back on the dancefloor after all.
