The Leeds band Menace Beach evidently love the 90s. Indeed, their debut album suggests they loved pretty much any band with tight jeans, scruffy shoes and a couple of distortion pedals who released a record on an indie label in the first half of that decade. Ooh, look! There goes Pavement and here comes Slowdive! Don’t like them? The friendlier end of Sonic Youth will be along in a minute! It’s all likable stuff, and done with love and enthusiasm; and the woozy, lurching chords of Dig It Up are thrilling. Ryan Needham and Liza Violet – who are joined by a revolving cast of bandmates, including producer and guitarist MJ of Hookworms – are expert pasticheurs with great ears for a melody and an arrangement. Opener Come On Give Up surfs in on a fantastic riff, with a squall of feedback before the full band comes in, and a vocal that soars to falsetto for the chorus. It’s impossible to deny the appeal but, equally, it’s hard not to want Menace Beach to find their own voice.
