**This’ll probably be a contender for my
favourite single of the year**
With their beautiful layered vocals and
distinctive twangy guitar sound they breathe a breath of fresh air into the
somewhat stale indie-music scene. I can’t think of any indie bands that even
come close to being as brilliant as Pop Threat. ‘It’s The Police!’
does sound a tad like a louder and more experimental Elastica but it’s
probably the weakest song on the CD. The CD’s also got some great artwork
considering the payment was a doughnut. It’s a shame that it didn’t come out
on Fierce Panda as they would of got the press coverage they deserve.
