Josh Weller - Pretty Girls

He may share a surname with the Modfather, but Josh Weller has a lot more in common with another post-punk icon - that of Elvis Costello. Weller has a similar talent for spitting acerbic lyrics over some lovely, breezy, acoustic melodies.

Pretty Girls is a hilariously sardonic attack on...well, pretty girls, and is sure to be beloved by bedroom geeks the world over. "Pretty girls are never nice 'cause they've been pretty all their lives" whispers Weller, before praying that "they'll be ugly when they're 40, in their Marks & Spencer boots". It may sound a bit misogynistic, but obviously written from the point of a view of the archetypal loser in love.

There are a lot of singer/songwriters out there (and a fair few called Josh, funnily enough), but this Londoner has the talent to muscle himself right in there with the best of them.
