Our Take

The Only Ones, like a fine wine, seem to only get better with age. Their 1979 album, Even Serpents Shine, shimmers and slithers its way onto coloured vinyl, breathing new life into the band's timeless tunes.

Frontman Peter Perrett's vocals are as dreamy and ethereal as ever, floating effortlessly over the band's signature blend of punk and power pop. Tracks like "Flaming Torch" and "Miles from Nowhere" showcase Perrett's lyrical prowess, painting vivid pictures of love and loss with a hint of sardonic wit.

Guitarist John Perry shines on this record, his riffs cutting through the mix like a serpent in the grass. His solos are sharp and precise, adding a touch of grit to the band's otherwise polished sound.

The rhythm section, consisting of Alan Mair on bass and Mike Kellie on drums, holds it all together with a tightness that can only come from years of playing together. Their chemistry is palpable, driving each song forward with a sense of urgency and purpose.

Overall, Even Serpents Shine is a must-have for any fan of classic British rock. The Only Ones have truly outdone themselves with this album, proving once again that they are a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. So grab yourself a glass of wine, put on the coloured vinyl, and let the serpents slither their way into your soul. Cheers!
