CD Reviewed: I’M A RAT
Artist: Towers of London
Reviewed by: Stuart Williams

Beats you HAVE to bang your head to; Power chords a-plenty;
A singer who sounds like both Mick Jagger AND Johnny Rotten. . . .

What more could anyone want?

Not much, if the Towers of London’s single I’M A RAT is anything to go by.

When I first heard it, the song’s main riff reminded me of the theme from Have I Got News For You; I liked the song itself, but images of Angus Deaton and Ian Hislop in my mind’s eye were disturbing – and not very rock and roll!

Rest assured, everything changed when I turned it up to eleven:
At high volume and with plenty of bass, I’m A Rat is rock and roll ANTHEM.

Within seconds of pressing ‘play’ I was banging my head like a simpleton.
Twenty minutes later, I was still playing air guitar, grimacing like someone possessed - and well on my way to putting my back out.

Great stuff!

The Towers of London have come up trumps: I’M A RAT is an authentic rock and roll stomper that grows on you each time you hear it.

But don’t just take my word for it:

You can check it out at www.thetowersoflondon.com or www.myspace.com/towersoflondon, better still, at your favourite music store.
