The third album from the north-east pop-rockers whose first two albums both went double platinum – a high standard to live up to.

The Kids are Sick Again has already found its way onto national radio playlists and there are a few more on here likely to follow.

On first listen no track really stands out as having the anthemic quality of previous hits like Graffiti or Our Velocity, but the album is a decent listen the whole way through.

There are no album fillers on here.

The Maximo Park style isn’t easily pigeonholed but it is instantly recognisable, and this latest offering contains more catchy bass lines and riffs scattered across 12 decent tunes best described as growers.
