- July 1997. Scuba at Clacton-on-Sea summer festival
Oh no! Another welsh band... But this lot are
a hell of a lot better than the likes of Gorkys and the Super Furries,
and all those others who never got past adolescence, still thinking magic
wizards and acid are cool. Scuba seem to have avoided the obligatory lobotomy
and produce a rather acceptable noise. This is class pop at its very, very
best. All the required elements are here - tunes, image, charisma, longevity.
There's a whole album's worth of top notch material here. For once you
don't have to convince yourself that this is a good band. You simply can't
ignore it.
