Your heart can't help but sink when you see tale of a young three piece specialising in power punk, with influences including The Jam and Supergrass. Not another 'new Libertines' surely? Not over a year after The Others convinced us that we really didn't one thank you very much.

Luckily, this isn't the case with The On-Offs, who could well become very big news. This Town has an attention grabbing bassline that you half expect to turn into the theme from Batman before exploding into a bright, brash anthem. No, it's not particularly original, but it's big, energetic and its three and a half minutes go by very quickly indeed.

B-Side Grow Your Own is, if anything, even better - sounding like a duet between Ian Brown and Pete Doherty with all the unpredictability that implies. So not 'the new Libertines', and certainly not 'the new Others', but the new On-Offs, which is a pretty good place to start from.
