Disappointed rock tourists, wandering Carnaby Street forty years too late unaware the beat had moved East, could still stumble into The Fallen Leaves’ 12 Bar Club residency and drink from the source.
The sharp-dressed quartet play the hook-heavy sixties sounds of The Who and The Pretty Things in the seventies punk style of The Jam or Subway Sect, for whom guitarist Rob Symmons once slashed strings, through the treble-heavy fuzz haze of Eighties DIY indie-pop.
If Only We’d Known is thirty-three minutes of genetically-engineered punk-pop perfection.
