When we say everything we mean it. As Chris Maguire is personally a member of Bleed Electric (MUG5) these guys get the benefit of everything Screamadelica has to offer and as such in my opinion this is some of the best work we are likely to be doing.

“Shoot You Down” is what would happen if Lady Gaga went to the studio with La Roux and they both had group sex with Gwen Stefani and MGMT’s fathers [hahaha]. “Shoot You Down” received it’s first radio play on BBC radio Cymru within four days of the track being finished and other Radio Cymru DJs are all itching to get their...
