Track: The Away Days – Dressing Room
It must have been the Sea, Sun, Sangria and what have you, but I once went to Mallorca on holiday and bought a watch. I say it must have been the aforementioned because I knew it wasn’t a real Tag Hauer one, on account of it being sold to me by a tall, dark, but …
Track: The Ratells -Cold Waters (free downloads)

EP: The Planes – On Demand
If I made a list of things I knew about the coastal town of Portsmouth, it would be pretty short.
