The Rumble Strips

Rumble Strips

Alarm Clock

With the likes of Bloc Party getting all serious with lyrics about cocaine and stuff, it’s nice to hear a band singing about the simple things in life. Here the Dexy-licious Strips gallop through a brass-bound ditty about hammering your alarm clock because you want a lie-in. Bring on the follow-ups about faulty toasters and not having any hot water for a shower, we say.
