who killed the zutons?

The Mersey combo pull their fingers out.

While The Coral seem to release records as often as the ferry crosses the Mersey, it’s been a long wait for the debut album from their label mates, The Zutons. But it’s worth it. Originally accused of being an identikit Merseybeat outfit, The Zutons have used the time to refine their own sound, aided by David McCabe’s belting soul vocals and the addition of slinky saxophonist Abi Harding. The results are buoyant tunes which owe more to Dexy’s than the 60s. Dead good.

The Zutons - Who Killed The Zutons?, released 19 April 04 on Deltasonic.
