Viagra, seducing Ukrainians and the mystery of the sex shop are just three of the meaty societal issues broached on the Blizzards' debut album A Public Display of Affection. Never too serious, The Blizzards play an uptempo style of new wave pop that combines two-tone and '60s pop with contemporary post-punk sounds that recalls the likes of Blondie and Adam & The Ants as much as it does the Specials or Arctic Monkeys. Check out 'Superdrug' for show-stopping penis worship, 'Dangerous Bitches' for an ode to tough "urban" girls and 'Fantasy' for pure contrapuntal pop bliss.
