Public Service Announcers are laden with a knapsack of songs, each marked with a 'Warning! Snappier than Twig Trampoline' sticker, the Public Service Announcers are here for your pleasure. They‚Äö?Ñ?¥ve taken the best of XTC‚Äö?Ñ?¥s trademark English pop, a bit of Blondie and an underpinning of hardcore (Minor Threat, not rave) zip to turn in some classic upbeat pop. The four PSAs have been announcing since mid 2007 and their message is starting to get through. Songs have been recorded in bedrooms, oil refineries and on snatched studio time. Their shows have been like standing in front of a horizontal pop shower. 'Belter after belter,' said one melody-sodden observer. 'Intelligent, idiosyncratic pop,' said the person with the pad from Time Out.
