Codeine Velvet Club – Hollywood

Released 28/12/09

Reviewed by Andy Knox

Jon Lawler (better known as John Fratelli) and Lou Hickey create a great blend of mix gender vocals over a tune which at points is very 1950s. And although it would be an unfair assumption to think of CVC as a more mature Fratellis, one notable similarity from The Fratellis is Lawler’s low self-asteem which is seen in “she’s got too much class for the likes of me”, however, judging the band and the tune without comparison, this is a strong song that could do well.
