“The illegitimate lovechild of Rites Of Spring, At The Drive-In and Britney Spears” Single Review: Fickle Public - Just Like I Got Used To Saying Courteney Cox Arquette
From UK Music Search, by Mike Bond on 5 January 2006
With riffs sharper than your average samurai sword and all the pent up energy of a 7 year old force fed E numbers and sugar then locked in his room for three hours, Fickle Public are the illegitimate lovechild of Rites Of Spring, At The Drive-In and Britney Spears - throwing angular post hardcore shapes to a soundtrack of pop perfection.
'Just Like I Got Used To Saying Courteney Cox Arquette', brims with a messy indie rock glory - jagged guitar riffs threaten to jab you in the eye while singer Alan Ferguson rages like a Tasmanian devil on speed suddenly erupting into spasms of punk rage with all the warning of a violent high speed car crash.
Brutal, jagged and effortlessly cool - Fickle Public hit you like a brick in the face and a lightning bolt in your ass both at the same time, 'Just Like I Got Used To Saying Courteney Cox Arquette' representing two and a half minutes of angular post hardcore perfection.
