Second best album cover of the month. It’s produced by churlish punk iconoclast Steve Albini, which is often a good sign as he mostly chooses jobs via his taste rather than the demands of his bank account. The band are titled after the nickname for their hometown, the not very lovely industrial port of Immingham, near Grimsby and Hull, and they look like a bunch of school kids pretending to be the New York Dolls (no bad thing!). Their second album lasts around half an hour and rattles along on a grungey, amphetamine rhythm section, covering Hawkwind along the way, capable of showy guitar snippets (“All I Wanna Do Is Waste My Time With You”) and even a scabrous attempt at reggae, “Trying to Find Pixies” (again, with incongruously tasty guitar work). Mainly, however, this is a punk rock rampage – on appropriately yellow vinyl -its totally enjoyable listen and it’s a blast.
