The Rumble Strips are a good time band that have got the knack of writing feel good anthems. As soon as you hear the drum role and brass at the start of ‘Motorcycle’, you know you’re in for a bit of a treat, and when Charles Waller delivers the opening lines, ‘If only this bike was a motorcycle, I wouldn’t be moving so slow, if only this bike was a motorcycle, I’d be over halfway home’. This is the stuff of scruffy little urchins with wide eyed dreams. And yes, The Rumble Strips are the band that sound similar to Dexy’s Midnight Runners, but that’s not a bad thing, Dexy’s were great.
