Our Take

The Bluetones' debut album "Expecting To Fly" is a delightful romp through the Britpop landscape of the 1990s. With memorable hooks, catchy melodies, and a healthy dose of charm, this album is a must-listen for any self-respecting fan of British guitar music.

From the opening track "Talking to Clarry" to the closing notes of "The Fountainhead", The Bluetones showcase their knack for crafting infectious tunes that stick in your head long after the music has stopped. Mark Morris' distinctive vocals are a joy to listen to, with just the right amount of swagger and vulnerability to keep you coming back for more.

Standout tracks like "Bluetonic" and "Slight Return" are instant classics, perfectly capturing the spirit of the era with their jangly guitars and shimmering pop sensibilities. The band's tight musicianship and undeniable chemistry shine through on every track, making for a cohesive and satisfying listening experience.

While some may dismiss The Bluetones as just another Britpop band, "Expecting To Fly" proves that they have talent and staying power beyond the hype. So dust off your parka, grab a pint, and immerse yourself in the catchy, feel-good vibes of this underrated gem. You won't be disappointed.
