What is it about certain chords, played in a particular order, through loud, overdriven guitars that raises the skin and tugs at the heartstrings?  This track from Manchester’s SHINIES – the flipside to recent single Ennui – is perfect guitar pop, custom built to soundtrack the misadventures of Jägerbomb splattered teens. Catch SHINIES at the Old Blue Last, Nov 23.
