The Dead Class courted minor controversy when their last single was removed from online retailers after legal advisors suggested its subject matter - teenage suicide - was too sensitive for comfort. Judging by new single The Loneliest Man In The World it was the right call, as it's unlikely the world needed a no-frills, ska-punk dissection of such a troublesome issue. Sticking to the more conventional theme of boozing this time round only underscores how little the band have to offer in terms of innovation, memorable melodies or, well, anything besides brass chirps and full-throated bellowing of the song title.
