Reviews

Jarren Dec 8, 2010
Edited 13 years ago
A pure anthem of unrestrained adrenalin, this is indie-pop of the highest order.

From Saffron's super-sexy (but don't assume that means submissive) delivery to the sublime melody, Drop Dead Gorgeous is electric.

Coming at a point in time when nothing really mattered, the world was our oyster (we're talking UK circa 1997), this really cemented our positivity on our viewpoint of the world and how great things could be.

It may not have lasted that long, but it is worth remembering.

Disagree?

Drop dead.
