7 out of 10
This is fun this is. The Rrrs live in a house together in Leamington Spa, so I guess being in a super fun garage punk-meets-J Pop band was the only thing for it. None of them really look like rock stars and the bassist, drummer and guitarist wear the most garish collection of shirts ever (Imagine the worst patterned curtains you've ever seen), while Singaporean front woman Sharzilla Moog (Sharzilla Moog!) probably saw new rave and thought "I can do better than that". And did.
'My Valentino' combines the charms of Asobi Seksu stripped of the shoegazing and MBV fuzz, '60s girl groups and going "Ooh ooh" to stupidly giddy effect, while 'Forbidden Kiss' can't make it's mind up over whether to be sexy like CSS or virginal like Sandy from 'Grease'. What everyone really needs though is 'Credit Crunch' which will make you feel better about having loads of debt, no job and only Smartprice food in the cupboards, even while Sharzilla shouts "You can't get in the black" and "give up on fun" at us. It might only make you feel better for the two minutes it lasts but it's better than nothing.
