Oh why does this single have to sound so wet? Hungover Stuntmen have clearly the best name of any band I’ve ever been asked by Music Towers to write a review about. But the jingle jangle, pick’n’mix guitar indie of ‘Inside Out’ is so unobtrusively bland that it comes as an underwhelming disappointment after such a splendid band name. The hooks are so blunt that it doesn’t so much fail to snag the listener, but bump around in their ear like a cotton bud wielded by an enthusiastic cretin without any regard for the orifice he’d just stuck his implement into.

There’s an air of fellow North Easterners, Maximo Park, about this mob (albeit with Geordie tones instead of those of Teesside), only without the rapier intellectualism in the lyrics that that Paul Smith curls his vowels around. Instead we get “It’s growing slowly from the inside, outside, in…” - urgh. The most notable aspect is the production, which is so crisp that Gary Lineker would probably try to eat it.

Look, here’s the video:
