You gotta love frizzy-haired nu-funk sensation Jack McManus. His debut album Either Side Of Midnight portrays him as the type of bloke who loves animals, long walks in the park and going to visit mammy. Bless. Fans of The Feeling and Jack Johnson will not only lap up the inoffensive white chocolate stylings of his debut album, they’ll probably erect statues of him in their houses and worship him like a false god. The rest of us will just shrug our shoulders and put the new Nick Cave CD on instead.

Key Track: ‘Bang On The Piano’
