This writer is very familiar with Torquay, the Devonshire town that lends its name to the lead track on SANS' second EP.
It's well named, pogoing all over a big ol' seaside rock of pop confection. With guitars embracing Belle & Sebastian's indie-tweeness and Stacey Cicivelli's vocals showing love for The Grates' Patience Hodgson, SANS are bursting with pure-pop potential. With a splash of '80s movie soundtrack keyboards (particularly effective in Hurt You Now and the cracking Halfbeat), these five songs are all perfectly primed for that tinny FM radio that buddies up with your favourite campy beach towel.
