THE RUMBLE STRIPS
ALARM CLOCK
FALLOUT / ISLAND

The Rumble Strips are a four piece from Devon that have that uncanny knack of sounding like an eleven piece, complete with an all dancing brass section. Singer Charles Waller has already been compared to an on form Kevin Rowland, and musically you can’t help but think of the glory days of Dexy’s Midnight Runners, as ‘Alarm Clock’ sees The Rumble Strips giving you a wake up call that’ll have you leaping around the room in no time, as you sing along ‘People misunderstand me, cos when I was made, some joker put my smile on, upside down Oh no oh oh, oh no’. These new young soul rebels are heading straight for the Top 10.
