I remain a big fan of the phonics but feel unsure about the their current music direction compared to earlier upbeat tunes like "Bartender and the thief" and "pick a part". Clearly successful bands need to move on and re-invent themselves over and over again, U2 being a prime example. I hope they continue to write upbeat material with their knack for entertaining lyrics. Where now for the phonics?
I'd have to agree with that but with the new release (You gotta go there to come back) I think they've hit on a new sound and side to the band... I just hope the next album gets a bit heavier... a bit more like Word gets around...
