Some of you older sorts may remember the SDP, who for a brief moment in the early 80s threatened to grow into one of the most exciting political parties in the UK. Not really. They were formed by Roy Jenkins, a man as genetically dull as a piece of toast, and were eventually swallowed up/merged with the Liberals to form the trailblazing/barely noticeable Lib Dem party.
Why am I telling you this? Well, the Kissaway Trail’s excellent new single is named after them. Well, when I say ‘after them’, that’s not strictly true. In that it’s a lie. I just made it up. But the song is called ‘SDP’ and it is by the Kissaway Trail, which makes it a lie grounded in reality, and therefore less of a lie. Or something. Anyway, top tune, enjoy.

I saw them at The Great Escape festival in Brighton about 3 years ago. They were brilliant and all wore good t-shirts (Ramones, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jnr etc) which endeared them to me amongst the converse and skinny jeans mob that the festival was filled with.
I’ve definitely heard worse, though i like them that bit more after the t-shirt story!
