MADE IN LONDON: SHUT YOUR MOUTH

MADE IN LONDON: SHUT YOUR MOUTH
Nothing says love like a thoroughly unsuccessful girl band. Back in the halcyon days of 2000, missing the Top 10 wasn't the end of the road, and this UK-based trio seemed to have a shot when their debut Dirty Water made Number 15, seemingly a cause for optimism and hopes of longevity. In the event, this, their second single, crashed out at an embarrassing Number 74. Embarrassing to the record-buying public because this is IMMENSE. Okay, the heavy guitars, playful bass and flown-in-from nowhere brass don't sit exactly right with the screaming white-girl soul vocals, but what a chorus! Inevitably, their album, A Perfect Storm vanished pretty much without a trace.
