Description/Reviews:

The band ... have quite a 70s/80s rock sound and features a fairly eclectic mix of styles. My immediate thought was that there were some similarities with Western Electric Sound System, particularly in the vocal department, although Howes' voice is not so deep and his lyrics not so dark!

Description/Reviews: 

These South Londoners know a thing or two about rock and prog and have a vivid imagination as to how to combine these genres in their very own fashion.
Opening with a synthfest that transcends us in time back to the 80s, The Mighty Handful then have their singer Matt Howes putting on his best David Bowie as the Landmarq-like keys have just been silenced. The song almost gets a folk-like feel, yet then there is the party-feel that you sometimes get at funerals when a dear person is remembered fondly. Here you can feel the atmosphere of a pub after bidding farewell to the dearly departed and Matt puts a real effort in expressing the emotions, even if the story might already be taking a twist. As death enters the scene, the album reminds me of the Casino album by Clive Nolan and the late Geoff Mann. Sound effects abound with a daring approach to writing songs. Even though the story has a central role in the album, the band has tried to make the songs count, one by one.
