Of course, the current War On Terror is all very exciting, but I for one am finding myself looking back increasingly fondly on a more innocent time of car bombs in shopping centres and politicians having their words overdubbed on the news.
 
Iain Archer has evidently spotted this gaping hole in the nostalgia market, and in response has come up with ‘When It Kicks In’, a nice pop song about The Troubles complete with jangly guitars and nice backing vocals.

It’s quite good. Sadly, the b-side, ‘You Confuse Me’, is a bit boring and whiney, so the jury’s still out I’m afraid.
 
Mat Beal - 7/10
