Archie Bronson Outfit - Dart For My Sweetheart

The best single of the year so far? As the indie charts have become the plaything of the majors, The Archie Bronson Outfit give a stellar riposte against the tide. A scream-along instant classic that doesn't deserve its low-key promotion, like a football chant gone good, Dart for My Sweetheart recalls all that is nasty and pure about independent British music. Yelping vocals and incessant rhythm, the current darlings of the music industry are light years away from this standard and will probably be ignored by the time they make it this far. A shining beacon, The Archie Bronson Outfit have finally arrived but will anybody notice? [David Coyle]
