The Handcuffs – Waiting for the Robot (OOFL Records)
Their music can be heard on a string of TV shows. They’ve toured with Glenn Tilbrook. They look cool in a ‘vintage’ way. They confirm to the current vogue for a boy/girl duo. What’s’ not to like about The Handcuffs?

New album “Waiting for the Robot” (out in September, so get your order in now) showcases their loud, fun crashing, bashing pop mayhem. While Ting Ting comparisons are obvious, there’s a songwriting craftsmanship in tracks such as “Miss You On Tuesday” that is timeless and classy. Chloe F. Orwell is a sultry singer and the creative talents of drummer and chief writer Brad Elvis, have given her a platform from which to take off, fly and swoop with abandon. “Eight Down” is a soft – centred lilt, and “This is a Test” is a riff-fuelled belter. Worth the waiting for.
