SJI: 84a5r Review - The Crack - September 2012




Dunno quite how I forgot to post this here, but Eight For A Fiver got reviewed in the latest issue of The Crack:


St James Infirmary 
Eight For A Fiver (Dibble Records)
Ashington based St James Infirmary are the local indie semi-legends who have been through more band members than The Fall. And chief ringmaster G.W. Lang is showing no signs of being jaded on this release which is a nicely frothy combination of The Ramones, Half Man Half Biscuit and Lawrence (of Denim and Go Kart Mozart fame). Great! DP
Out now
