:::USOUNDS Exclusive Download: Baxendale Music for Girls:::

Baxendale rule the current disco pop scene like the kings they know they were meant to be. With influences like early Pulp, the Petshop Boys, and the Smiths, you'd think this album would be an 80's lover's dream... and it is. But there is a distinct 21st century approach and attitude, making this record a rarity, in that it is authentic and dancehappy all at the same time.

The title track is a gloriously hooky romp, while Switzerland mixes in some super catchy beats and synths with that perfect sing-along chorus you won't forget.

The NME loved the album, and printed this review:

Two boys from London and a girl from Reading with an album called “You Will Have Your Revenge”, Baxendale are a serious group all right, but serious about making glorious Day-Glo euphoric electro-pop stuffed with so many ridiculous hooks and transparent truths you can't help but fall stupidly in love with them. 'Music For Girls’ features the magnificent line, “Keep your bittersweet symphonies / I’ll break your legs if you stop me dancing”, while when halfway through the monster adrenaline rush of 'Battery Acid’ Tim 'dies’ and resurrects himself, it’s saved from becoming a hideous, cringeworthy parody just by the sheer exuberance he exudes. Like Pulp at their dizziest heights or a juvenile Pet Shop Boys run riot in a vat of fizzy sherbet, this is warm humanity for the dance fraternity, frenzied disco for indie kids. Who ever said dance music was all faceless and cold?" (review by Emma Hogan - NME)
