Dead Jerichos - Mountains

I may be one of the few reviewers in Oxford who isn’t enthused by Dead Jerichos. They have far more style than they do substance and “Mountains” is a four and a half minute example of how to make a two chord wonder sound more impressive than it really is. In fact it brings to mind the Bill Bailey routine where he demonstrates how less-epic U2 riffs are without the digital delay. They may be the so-called “hardest working band in Oxford” but this is just lazy songwriting.
