Reviewface #5 with Soft Toy Emergency

Soft Toy Emergency

Soft Toy Emergency

In the last in our continuing Reviewface series for a few weeks, where we film bands’ first playbacks of some of the singles released that week, we were lucky enough to have sprightly young upstarts Soft Toy Emergency come all the way down from Liverpool to take part.

Their pop is of the ’90s Eurodisco-recalling variety, a delightfully fizzy musical Dayglo if you will. It’s all coated in fluorescent paint and they’re wearing it with charm. You have a listen on the MySpace, even.

Now here’s what happened when we had a chat and got them to review Wiley, Piney Gir and The Drums’ latest offerings, all out this week…

Wiley – ‘She Likes To’

Piney Gir – ‘She Likes To’

The Drums – ‘I Felt Stupid’

All filming and video-editing credited to Tim Boddy.

'cause she considers the term 'music snob' redundant, because her music taste is infinitely better than yours and because she likes words a bit too much. She formulates and promotes the inaugural, seminal Muso’s Guide Presents… shows in London and is also the ears, keys, and mouse-clicker responsible for Muso’s Guide’s Last.fm charts.
