Album Review: The Stiffy's - We Are Groovy Boys

"It would appear The Stiffys are trying to be ironic"

More The Stiffys The Stiffys Profile



And you thought The Beards had a narrow frame of reference? It would appear The Stiffys are trying to be ironic – you know, like rain on your wedding day – but their garage dance racket more often defaults to aping a low budget Philly Jays, without the tunes or the wit. There's a couple of 'fnarr fnarr' moments, largely based around the name – which recalls that old Simpsons gag of finding a name that's witty at first, but seems less funny each time you hear it. Mission accomplished on that count. Now go away, you bother me.
