In 2007 the Dundee band the View had a freak hit with Same Jeans, a bit of fun about wearing jeans for four days in a row. They celebrated with a massive bender involving drinking, fighting, smashing up hotel rooms and riding a motorcycle along the bar of their local.
Every now and then the View pretend to care about meaningful things on Bread and Circuses, but otherwise this is an album by four men asking themselves a far more pressing question, namely: how can we avoid getting normal jobs? The last song, The Best Lasts Forever, attempts to answer this in unrealistically optimistic terms.
You can hardly blame them, but it doesn’t make for a particularly interesting album. #
