This duo hook up Spector's echoing glockenspiels, acoustic guitars and fanfare brass to a gradually galloping rhythm and a melody of heartbreaking sadness and joy.

Johnny Boy, a duo comprising Davo from Liverpool and Lolly from London, hook up Spector's echoing glockenspiels, acoustic guitars and fanfare brass to a gradually galloping rhythm and a melody of heartbreaking sadness and joy. Then Lolly's voice (part indie-girl fragility, part Shangri-La stridency) paints a picture of winter evening streets swimming with consumerist middle-youth 'heathens', complaining that things are getting worse.

With 2004's "You Are the Generation Who Bought More Shoes and You Get What You Deserve", British duo Johnny Boy hit the perfect balance between the epic and the homemade: the "Be My Baby" drums, the TASCAM Wall of Sound, and the exuberant yell-along climax.
