Late last year, Shed Seven released Instant Pleasures, their first album in 16 years’ time. Apparently, they recorded more than the 12 tracks on it, but instead of waiting another 16 years to put them out, they decided upon a Deluxe Edition of the album, adding ten tunes. Among them three remixes, three demos and four ‘new’ songs.

Won’t Get Home Tonight is the best of the new bunch in my opinion, with its driving rhythm, ’80s power chords, double guitar solo and staccato drum accents, all crammed into 3’34. Very likable!
