We Could Be Happy

If The Smiths had an even less salubrious address, they’d sound like Jonathan Ross-endorsed SixNationState. The vocals are like Morrissey with a gutter for a throat, and, while there’s a skiffly, Libertines-y feel to the verse, the chorus is pure, soaring Smiths. The crazy thing is that this isn’t their best song here – a fact that bodes well for their eponymous debut, out next month. Both the ska-vaudeville jaunt of ‘1,2,3,4’ and ‘Got It Right Got It Wrong’ – with its dark, freewheeling bridge – are addictive listens. Definitely ones to watch over the next few months.
