Surely it's traditional to wait until an act has had some success before giving them a hard time?
I think Ahab have worked extremely hard to achieve the modest recognition that they have so far.
I saw them last week in a freezing cold marquee at the Brasenose playing to fifty or so people plugging their new EP. I came away thinking fair play chaps!
It's early days,it may not work.There are a lot of new bands that stand around on the sidelines saying things like "it's alright for you" whist doing just that, standing around!
As for "overblown press". So what? Noone ever got radio play on the back of a biog alone.
Good lads, good work ethic, not entirely my sort of thing but if they do manage to take it anywhere they'll have deserved to do so in my humble opinion.
