EMU provide a working class battle-cry on “Average Lad” that is missing in the landscape of 2020 popular music where the musicians tend to emphasize the kind of fantasy dream-life unobtainable for the majority of their listeners.
Strictly musically I enjoyed the Buzzcocks-like power chords and the lightly distorted vocals.
“Average Lad” punches its way through the commotion like a night out on the town spent living in a nowhere town.
