The Mams

'That's genius! All of it. I smiled so big my ears cracked. Superb, up, pop, aceness... It doesn't sound like it comes from this, or most other eras... They take all these bits and pieces of music's uncool past and put it together in such a jolly fashion. Irresistible. Absolutely irresistible. Everything about it is ACE!!...'

Adam Walton, BBC Radio Wales

The CD was produced by Charlie Francis who has worked with REM, Robyn Hitchcock, High Llamas. However, Wam Bam! sounds like none of these!

The Mams write noisy danceable pop songs about carousing, heartbreak, flirting and mortality. When Jon 'Earl' Grey and A.T. Sharpe made up early in 2006 after falling out years ago they found they had a few things in common. John Peel had played their records in the past and they still had their own hair and teeth. They were both studied commitment phobes who also liked a pint and a fib (tho' the bit about Peel is true). More importantly, they still had an enduring passion for accessible gonzo pop music. Untet
