Having heard The Sugars music before and been a big fan, I must admit to being more than a little disappointed by this, their third single on Bad Sneakers.Black Friday is a rumbling Franz Ferdinand style tune, with a touch of rockabilly and some affected showmanship to the vocals. It's not great, more of a groove than a tune, and not a very good one at that.
B-side Isle Of Sirens is worse, a wailing pitiful effort that sounds lost at sea. It tries to sound vocally different to other bands but fails to come up with something worth replacing them with.
It pains me to write this after their early promise, but if they get Anna back onto lead vocals then things should start to turn around again.
