Dianne Swann and Brett Adams have worked together since 1992. Swann you will remember from When The Cat's Away and Adams has played guitar for Tim Finn and back when he was 19 he played with The Mockers. From The Julie Dolphin, as the pair first called themselves in London, to Boom Boom Mancini and now to The Bads.
'So Alive' is filled with gorgeous melodies and pop songs that shimmer with a country vibe, with indie intentions, with straight-ahead rock; clean guitar lines mixing with quirky ideas.
Pitch-perfect harmonies sitting inside precise rhythms -- each song feels like a mini-masterpiece that has been worked at, honed, cradled, loved, learned and forgotten then learned again.
