Eugene McGuinness - Fonz

With a name like Eugene McGuinness, you'd expect someone with a whiskey-soaked, sentimental origin, but in actuality this lad is the latest graduate from Domino's School of Guitar Pop. Fonz zips by in an crunchingly glam manner, despite the lyric "it was so lovely", that unfortunately cannot help recalling Scouting for Girls. McGuinness combines the odd fantastic couplet - "we said so well, and synchronised our watches/arranged for the meeting of our crotches" - with some pointedly mundane moments. Catchy enough, but far too light on real entertainment to have a lasting impact. A puerile pleasure. [Jamie Scott]
