Early 70's inspired
observational and skewed Britpop from suburban Manchester. Crack open
the Watneys Party Seven!
Alan Wilkes AKA Vinny
Peculiar is in a nostalgic mood. For his latest studio album, the
Salford maverick is taking a wry and wistful look back to the era of
art infused glam-rock. With references to Bowie, Alice Cooper, Page
Three Stunnas, Wigan Casino and Mott The Hoople throughout it's part
celebration of those times, but one which is tempered by the
confessional and painful adolescent regrets retold in the lyrics. The
effect is like a more melancholy Jarvis Cocker. Stories of stealing
Cream Eggs from the Post Office, signing on, and dodgy haircuts
abound.
