·    GLASGOW-BASED DOYENS OF THE MASTERFULLY CRAFTED 3 MINUTE POWER-POP STOMPER, THE NEEDLES RELEASE A DOUBLE ‘A’   “GIRL I USED TO KNOW” & “DEAD OR ALIVE” ARE REMIXED VERSIONS OF SONGS ORIGINALLY AVAILABLE ON THE BAND’S AWESOME DEBUT ALBUM “IN SEARCH OF THE NEEDLES” WHICH WAS RELEASED LAST AUTUMN. “ONLY IF YOU WANT ME TO” IS A BRAND NEW TRACK. THE NEEDLES WILL BE HEADING OUT TO THE SOUTH BY SOUTH WEST JAMBOREE IN TEXAS IN MARCH.
·    THE NEEDLES SPECIALISE IN TIGHTLY-PACKED FIZZ-BOMBS OF PERFECTLY-FORMED POP-SENSIBILITY STYLE PUNK – THE LATEST IN A LINEAGE THAT TAKES IN HEROES LIKE BUDDY HOLLY, BEACH BOYS, THE CLASH AND SUPERGRASS WITH ECHOS OF XTC-STYLE NEW WAVE. BUT THIS IS NO RE-HASH OF OLD RIFFS. THE NEEDLES DEAL IN FUTURE RETRO-ISM – TIMELESS MELODIES ABOUT LOVE AND LIFE AND LOSS DELIVERED BY MEN WITH ONE EYE ON DISTANT ALTERNATIVE FUTURES, AND ALL GLUED TOGETHER BY AN INSTINCTIVE RAMONES-ESQUE BROTHERLY BOND.  
·    THE NEEDLES ARE LIKE SATAN’S OWN HIGH SCHOOL PROM BAND, ALL INSURGENT POP-FLECKED PUNK SHOCKERS, ANGULAR SHAPE-THROWING AND A DELUGE OF HORMONAL ANTHEMS DELIVERED WITH THE PRECISION OF A FRONTLINE SOLDIER WITH A HAND-GRENADE PIN JAMMED BETWEEN HIS TEETH.
·    LIKE A JOKE-SHOP TIN OF SNAKES SPRINGING FORTH, LIVE THE NEEDLES EXPLODE INTO ACTION, SINGER DAVE NEEDLES A SINEWY, BESPECTACLED BLITZKRIEG RINGLEADER WITH A CANT-KEEP-YOUR-EYES-OFF-HIM STAGE PRESENCE AND A FINE SENSE OF SELF-AGGRANDISING, FINGER-POPPING SHTICK THAT WOULD SHAME ELVIS OR JAMES BROWN.
