THE SMIRKS: "Rosemary" (Beserkley BZZ 23) Another great pop record, it has a rowdy inventiveness and disrespectful sparkle that is finally missing in the contenders from the Yachts and the Rezillos. Noy only will it get those Doc Martens moving, but it also pokes fun at all sorts of pop clichés, undercutting and revitalising them at the same time. A smart one, fellas.
SMIRKS: Rosemary (Beserkley) I get a feeling that this is playing too fast and an impression that they are getting by releasing weak material hoping to get by with an off-beat reputation. I mean, 'taint that bad but I believe every recoding studio should have a huge sign permanently on display. It should read You are asking people to pay 90 pence so watch it!!
