HURRICANE #1 - "CHAIN REACTION"
            (Creation CD Single)
            released 25th August 

  It’s a hit! What, the single? Oh, yeah, sure, that as
  well; I was thinking more about the ‘reliable
  rumours’ doing the rounds about Alex Lowe’s
  physical ‘encounter’ with a certain big mouthed
  Mancunian troglodyte in a posh West End nighterie
  recently. Not that I’m any kind of advocate of
  violence but, hey, isn’t it about time someone
  taught that knuckle-dragging mono-browed tosser
  a lesson in manners?

  Now, where were we? Ah yes, the new single. Not
  quite as epic or instant as their chart-busting,
  jaw-cracking (ooops) debut ‘Step Into My
  World’, ‘Chain Reaction’ sees Hurricane #1
  striding ever more purposefully into Big Rock
  territory: chunky, flanged guitar riffs splashing
  through a bucket of grooves and a baggy beat, with
  Alex’s gruff vocals coming on like Tim Burgess
  trying to be Phil Lynott. The whole is something
  like Oasis and the Charlatans being transported
  back to the early 70s and getting stoned with Led
  Zep. In a certain light it’s quite an appealing image.
