The Rumble Strips - Alarm Clock (Fallout / Island)
3/5
By: Matt Tomiak
'Well my alarm clock/He ain't working/But I don't really mind/Cos he ain't no friend of mine/He kept waking me up/All the time...'
It's fair to say that the opening verse of 'Alarm Clock' is unlikely to be granted a place in the great pantheon of troubled blues lyrics lamenting oppression by 'The Man.'
Nevertheless, this is a record that's certainly had its Weetabix- a sprightly, enlivening burst of sax-driven pop with an incessant, infectious joie de vivre.
