"We believe the big papers are calling it 'wonky pop'"

The upside to recession and global conflict? The Dolly Rockers, apparently.

You can choose the highlights from their magnificent band bio yourself, but I would just mention this:

Dolly Rockers belong to the generation who want pop back on their own terms. A generation who make no distinction between Spice Girls ‘Wannabe’ and Blur’s ‘Girls & Boys’

Sounds great! One paragraph later:

“We don’t feel we have much in common with manufactured girl bands. Pop music to us is Arctic Monkeys, Lily Allen, Mark Ronson…”

(TBH I quite enjoyed the one song I heard by them. So I don't want to blame them for the worst piece of pop writing this year.)

(This is my deleted post, by the way, I was correcting a misspelling of the word "Un")

It's possible that hearing it without the video would make it seem less bad, I would be interested to read your critical reappraisal of the "complete package".
