For a band with a great name this EP is a big disappointment. I was expecting to hear a funky porn soundtrack, how wrong I was.

The Joy Of Sex are just another indie band who think playing guitar badly and singing out of tune is cool. It annoys me when I hear bands like this as they are filled with people who think they’re musicians by making a load of noise. They have the attitude that if they hit a lot of bum notes in a song it sounds rad.

The chances are if you like bands like The Wombats and Arctic Monkeys you’ll find this band ‘interesting’. All of the songs on this EP are poorly produced; this is another environment where indie bands thrive. The snare and bass drum sounds are god awful and the bass drum sounds like its hitting water for God’s sake!

I think The Joy Of Sex should give their name to a bad 1970’s style psychedelic porn band, I would find that highly amusing.
