In a world of shouting and noise where opposing poles pull a planet apart, a battle of nonsenses in the war of words, it's with huge regret that I have to announce the return of Technically Men to this rattling dryed out husk of a business they call 'music'.

Born in the great tradition of booze-addled self deprication, the energy and anger that spews from the half remembered rants of the night before, the eternal pain of love and the quest for that sliver of joy we'd hope to find on the dancefloor of a rundown seaside discotheque.

Technically Men arrived in 2002 amidst an acrid fog of focused disillusionment, axes were ground to dust and snorted in the vain hope of escape, fifth columnists chewing at the pillars of pop to bring it to it's selvedge denimed knees. They took no prisoners just made victims. Promoters, journalists and numerous slack fuckers where there to be schooled. 'Big Man' and 'Hairy Baby' make short work of the oily self-serving egos that cling onto to status like a deluded lizard on the wrong iceberg.

"And why am I full of fuck and full of bile all the time? Cos when music's so conservative someone needs a fucking spine" - 'The 'Questions is a manifesto, 'Slack Fucker' the index and 'Soppy Look' the national anthem (yeah, a national anthem with a Ludacris verse). At it's heart is 'I'm You're Girl' a soaring ode to self hate and the madness of love and 'Don't Send Me Away' where you witness the genesis of Technically Men, the Jack-fuelled late night dissorientation of epic proportions, where dreams and nightmares are hatched and made beautifully true, their sound masterfully hewn from a distorted mash of soul loops and 808's on a girl group b-side played live.

Seventeen years on and you'd expect a quieter approach would be encouraged, something mindful to counter the rolling 360 degree racket, but to do that would deny the childish joy of gobbing on a hot stove, throwing petrol on the fire and watching the worst bits of the world burn in a rat race to the bottom.

In a landscape where idle squeelers and shouty is the new Kooks, Technically Men is a record that sounds as vibrant and relevant as it did in 2002. It's acid house reflux. Bring Rennies.
