If one was to take a contemporary take on it you could join the dots towards the Fontaines D.C. but being the old stock that I am my reading on it is that Samuel S.C. have cornered the marked on being the next Undertones (they started out in the distant last century!). So ‘Exit Scene’ is just brimful of teenage kicks, lo-fo and flying along at a rate of knots but crucially with a wholesome sense of song amid the barrelling chords and general instrumental mayhem. And in that singer there is a leader who can hog the limelight while giving us reason to join the uproarious chorus amid all the punk chaos.KH
