The Sneaky Nixons, Returning Home A Failure. Single Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

It is for many a very real fear, going all out to do something impressive, an amazing thing in which your family or your friends might be inspired to emulate or even talk about down the pub for years to come and always starting with the phrase, “Do you remember when…?” However, Returning Home A Failure is something we never like to contemplate, yes we try our best but sometimes, as the detractors are apt to remind us with knives sharpened, our best is just not good enough.

The Sneaky Nixons, Schadenfreude. Single Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

It seems typical that the superbly angry, the enraged beauty, that lives and breathes inside one of the most talked about bands, The Sneaky Nixons, should produce a great song with the idea of someone else’s misfortune as its central theme. Maybe nobody else would dare, nobody else would go that far but for The Sneaky Nixons, it’s not about causing upset, it is bringing the very real idea home that there are people out there who just seem to get an absolute kick from the act of Schadenfreude.

The Sneaky Nixons, Coup De Grace. E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

The rage and fury that dominated the headlines as Punk took on the establishment in the 1970s seemed perhaps, with a few very obvious exceptions of talented genius, to be one more of the best of marketing campaigns to shock and embarrass the nation into feeling the anger of a disaffected youth. One that had been badly let down as the decade wore on but who in turn had been used by those seeking to capitalise upon the market appeal rather than the sound and words of resentment that was being hurled like a four letter word at the faux outraged on television.

The Sneaky Nixons, Baby What You Do and Thick And Thinner, Single Reviews.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Divisive is as divisive is allowed to do, like the Presidential namesake in which split the United States of America 40 years ago, Liverpool’s The Sneaky Nixons have seemed to have garnered the same ringing endorsement in how to win friends and influence people. What should matter though is the sound that they generate, and for that the two latest singles from the Nixons’ stable are as keenly, and beautifully discordant, as the push will be allowed to be taken.
