the cooper temple clause

CD shooting party

Ink’s party leaders Blair, Hague, Kennedy and The voice of reason gathered at a secret location to pass judgement, track by track, on the new manifestos from the music hustings

THE COOPER TEMPLE CLAUSE – THE WARFARE EP MORNING RECORDS

Much fancied shout-core band named after a Michael J Fox even Marty McFly wouldn’t be able to find the time for

PANZER ATTACK

BLAIR: A Sigue Sigue Sputnik feel to this, but it’s a more considered Sputnik. Every home should have one.

I’LL STILL WRITE

HAGUE: This is a bit of a disappointment after the first.
KENNEDY: They’re like Muse
BLAIR: I like noisy bands to actually be noisy and loud. If you can do it you should, and forget the soft stuff.

MANSELL

BLAIR: This gets faster and better as it goes along. So, we can project that if it went on for another 2 minutes it would be just fast enough to be good. But even so, it’s 6 minutes of good value.
HAGUE: [snorting] Yeah, value. Like value beans

PANZER ATTACK

BLAIR: [surprised] It’s ‘Take on me’ by A-Ha
HAGUE: No, no, no, this is 80’s punk
BLAIR: I stand corrected. We have Sham 69. Bizarrely, though this is meant to be identical to the first track only this time round you can hear the lyrics.
