Our Take

Ah, Emile Ford Presents The Checkmates, a blast from the past that's like a refreshing pint of bitter on a hot summer day. This album oozes with charm, cheekiness, and a healthy dose of rock 'n' roll swagger that's sure to get your hips shaking and your toes tapping.

From the moment you press play, you're transported back to the swinging '60s, where The Checkmates ruled the airwaves with their catchy tunes and infectious energy. Emile Ford's smooth vocals are like butter melting on a warm crumpet, soothing yet oh so satisfying.

The album kicks off with the toe-tapping "What Do You Want to Make Those Eyes at Me for?", a cheeky little number that sets the tone for the rest of the record. From there, we're treated to a mix of upbeat rockers like "On A Slow Boat to China" and "Don't Tell Me Your Troubles", as well as more laid-back ballads like "You'll Never Know What You're Missing 'Till You Try" and "Red Sails in the Sunset".

Throughout the album, The Checkmates display a remarkable chemistry and an undeniable sense of fun that's infectious. Each track is a little gem, polished to perfection and dripping with nostalgia.

In conclusion, Emile Ford Presents The Checkmates is a delightful throwback to a bygone era, a musical time capsule that's sure to put a smile on your face and a spring in your step. So dig out your dancing shoes, grab a partner, and let The Checkmates sweep you off your feet. Cheers!
