The metamorphosis of this band from hard-arsed punks to melodic smoochers was quite unbelievable. Thankfully, their early stuff is much more enjoyable. "5 Minutes" captures them at the height of the first phase and describes a particularly heavy night outside a club the band were playing in south London one Saturday when it all kicked off in a most unpleasant fashion. The urgency comes straight through in the music and the lyrics. Sadly, it has dated very badly as a track although I venture to suggest that things haven't changed much down the clubs and bars of Brixton, Peckham and New Cross. Sounds just like a night out at the Venue!
Rating: 6/10
