'Fifteen minutes later none of this matters. The sun's come out and we're sitting on a grassy bank drinking and singing along to some top notch summer indie-pop like it's 1986; thank you, LEAD BALLOONS, the infectiously brilliant "Don't Bother With Him" just saved the day. Singer Pierre Hall was born just days after NME released its legendary C86 tape, and more than almost anyone the band seem to carry its spirit in their blood - friendly and joyously lo-fi, unashamed to jangle through bittersweet little sing-songs but equally likely to rock out in a thoroughly enjoyable way - by the last couple of tunes their pop's gone all Buzzcocks but is no less sparkling.'
