Buy The Trends - The Boys At Number 10 From Amazon.com

Teenage, WestCountry, GallagherClonesRock.

From Cheltenham and still at school, most of The Trends cherubic mates on Facebook look like they still religiously Sky+ Ben 10. All credit to the quartet though for getting off their arses and forming a band, although I imagine the alternative in their home town is inflating condoms and letting them go outside KFC. Again.

Objectively, The Boys At Number 10 is yet more proof - were it needed - that the Gallaghers' musical spunk has been thrown injudiciously far and wide in the last 15 years. The overall effect is reminiscent of a sedated Twisted Wheel, as fantastically named singer Frances Barry Goats occasionally hits a note, although the guitar lines are puréed indie fodder.

Additional track 'The Story of Today' is blatantly anti-war, a conflict which you assume, given their tender years that the band were exposed to while playing Call of Duty 3 on the X-Box.

Yeah fair play to the lads for forming and a band and for ruining an electric guitar just so they look pimpin' in their promo photo.

The line about blowing up condoms outside KFC made me chuckle!

i expect the next song to be inspired by GTA IV or Brutal Legend on the Xbox...

Jeez Rich, you got some right shit this time around didn't you?

I think Chris does it on purpose to draw the cutting humour out of you.
