Swaying gently out of Manchester on a pop-riddled frenzy of Pixies dust, Tricky Nixon finally give us the debut release we’ve been waiting for. Harmonies curse through the fraught summery anthem of the opening number, ‘Kick’ and the quartet end up sounding more like an edgy Feeder than a melodious Foo Fighters. Comparisons to either band, however, cannot be taken lightly. There is a certain temerity about this band as they craft enormous, sparkling examples of pre-grunge. Rhydian and Ritz blend those to&fro sugar dynamics that Black and Deal did a decade ago with impudent ease during the wonderful ‘Silverdolls’ and with an album on the way shortly there is much more to be expected.
