Come on Back Eileen

Come on Back Eileen: Blimey is this some kind of meme? Anyway Barry Walters reviews the new No Doubt and the new Smash Mouth as part of a call for the return of happiness to rock. Hard to deny the appeal of happy, funny music though (i) I’m not sure it’s gone away (WHERE’S! YOUR! HEAD! AT!) (ii) our version of new wave wasn’t always so full of laffs.
