We herethought the Ep was just great entertainmentand nicely put together. Their longawaited album “The Day of The Badger”was released too much acclaim that it soldout with-in weeks, so here at the Scrumpywe had to wait for a copy to review. Thereare 12 tracks with all the words by ‘Who’sAfear‘d’ (all music borrowed and butcheredat no extra expense!!) The first track‘Weymouth Quay’ has a green message,followed by track 2 full on cider punk ‘CiderRiot’ which has an even bigger message!!This is an excellent album, with a take onThe Beach Boys hit ‘California Girls’ (CiderDrinking, Pasty Eating, West CountryGirls).
