Archie Bronson Outfit - Dart For My Sweetheart


Aye, it's a re-release of a single from the brilliant "Derdand Derdang" album, which as a rule, I don't usually agree with. I'm going to let them off on this occasion though, because everyone deserves to hear this single if they didn't hear it the first time. It was re-released on the 26th March, so it'll be around somewhere.

The song rolls along like a big sexy tank, picture a giant Panza all dolled up in make up and suspenders. With the verses of each line beginning with a number from one to twelve, it's a bit like that song about Noah's Ark where the animals came in two-by-two, three-by-three, four-by-four and so forth.

Sam Windett's howl in the chorus could almost be the "Hurrah! Hurrah!" from said biblical, school based classic.

The song oozes sex, lust, bitterness, jealousy, I still find it hard to believe that the band are from England. I'd even go so far to say that they're one of the most under-rated UK bands about, as their brand of blues shakes through my crooked spine, must go to the chiropractor, or change these speakers.

If you aren't going to get the single, then do yourself an Easter treat and get the "Derdand Derdang" album, it's got enough balls and soul to get your grandparents going at it like Easter bunnies.
