"The baddest banjolele band in Brighton" is how Rock Onic
and Bob think of themselves, and it's a pretty suitable
description. They are a goofy little cover band, slightly like Weird
Al in a way, with a penchant for peppy, banjo/ukelele versions of
their favourite songs. There are some strange choices here, like
"Keep on Moving" by semi-obscure boy band 5ive and Level
42's "The Sun Goes Down." However, more readily
recognizable songs like The Clash's "White Riot" and Prince's
"Raspberry Beret" even out the collection, making for a
well-rounded, accessible covers album. I really like "Eat
My Goal," which is an elaborated version of a common soccer
(football) chant, though the rendition of "The Sun Goes
Down" definitely takes the cake. Yummy. 84%
