As a bit of an experiment we thought we'd bring you a few CD reviews where we thought we'd let the band do all the talking. What do they think about the songs on their latest release?

Here we let B Movie Heroes lead singer Neil Philips talk us through the thinking behind each of the songs off their new mini album …

1) Lie Down and Die - just a bitter and twisted appeal to those musicians who are 'flogging a dead horse'. Sort of a reverse comic relief.

2) Old Blue Shoes - A rant at the government, who seem to do nothing to help those of us who are lazy and don't want to get a job.  They make signing on a major chore when it should be celebrated. Also an anthem to anyone who refuses to buy into the 9 'til 5 life.

3) Cheap Surrender - A celebration of those tunes you always put on whilst getting ready to go out on a Saturday night.  The 3-minute pop nuggets that make you want to wet your whistle. All about how simple tunes can lift you up and become the most important thing in your life. Inspired by "Surrender" by Cheap Trick.

4) On the Outside - A Dean penned tune that will appeal to anyone who felt they never quite fit in. Not in a big way, just in a way where you just can't connect with people.
You can't relate to anything they say and you have nothing in common. We've all been there.

5) The Image - A homage to pop idol. How long will the nation be content with this watered down, safe, packaged product. Why are we all so brain dead to not see that we are being force fed and told to like something that is devoid of any passion, truth, integrity, soul and reality.

How long will this go on for? We dread to think where we will be in 50 years if this current trend continues. Where is the danger? Where is the music that makes you wanna stand up and be counted?

6) Million Miles an Hour - A love song. A drunks love song. About being 24 and still living in never never land, while everyone around you is growing up, getting lives, and moving away. We still plough through, the same as when we were 16, and that's why we never get the girl!!

Footnote from the Mayfair Mall Crew: The B Movie Heroes are a band that we have fondly followed for quite some time now. Never one to disappoint their fans with their live shows, this mini album simply exudes those good time feelings you get when you see them at the gigs.

If you enjoy a song that doesn't demand you sit down and analyze it's content then this is a worthy addition to your collection.

All the songs on this offering are guaranteed to get you in the party mood and raise even the grimmest of moods.
