Everything I’ve heard about The Streets suggests that I won’t like their music one little bit, so I don’t propose spending any effort seeking them out.

I just think they are a little different, certainly they aren’t going to be everyones cuppa, but I think there is room for a little diversity, there is also a lot of humour in the way the tracks are written, which I like also.

I wouldn’t say I like all their work, but there’s some good stuff in there.

Analogy time, they are to RnB what Madness was to Rock. Standing outside, but producing some interesting stuff…
