Let's face it, any review by Steven Wells cannot be taken seriously.
What are the bands he has pushed in the past? The Fourskins, The New
Model Army, The Sisters of Mercy...need I say more.
Obviously, if the editor gets a bit bored with people going on about
how good someone is then he gets swells to review it. At least it'll
provide some action on the letters page in the following weeks.
Mind you, I'd quite like to find out where he lives and take a copy of
Selection 16 and a car with a loud system to see if he carried out his
threats....
Mat.
