I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker (With Flowers In My Hair)

The Seesaws

Us And Them

WE SAY

We're big admirers of Ian Brown, the man behind Flying Sparks Records (home to Gordon Haskell and Erin Rocha) - he puts out great records that no- one else would and knows how to break them as well. This is a classic example on Us And Them Records, a new pop label in partnership with songwriter John McLaughlin (Busted, 5ive etc). A smart lyric and a great melody too.
