Glowering from the CD cover like murderous East End repo men, The Solarflares?comprising two members of unsung garage delinquents The Prisoners (bassist Allan Crockford and singer/guitarist Graham Day), Buff Medways drummer Wolf and Dutronc organist Parsley?serve up the kind of maximum GBH usually reserved for much newer kids on the block. Astonishingly, Dayโ€™s Steve Winwoodesque, white-soul-boy tonsils, ravaged guitar lines and knack for a winning tune have remained fiercely intact.

At times reminiscent of classic Who (โ€œState Of Mindโ€), Hendrix (โ€œHold Onโ€) and The Pretty Things, this is a perfect assimilation of โ€™60s R&B and punk clatter for those in thrall to The Hives, Von Bondies and their ilk.
