Arab Strap are absolute shite!!!

Their set consisted of one fat Scottish bloke sitting on a stool and SAYING crap lyrics and then a pointless, non melodic crappy chorus of plain old guitars

Sorry if this offends but it has come to the attention of my friend and I that "Century of Elvis" does undoubtedly sound like Arab Strap or Vica Versa (whatever) - 2 Scottish bands in singer-vocalike shock!

The first comparable tune that stroke my mind when obtaining "The first big weekend" 7" was "Mike the bike" by the Claim which can be found on the "Birth of a teenager" 7" (UK/Caff 08/'90) ...
