This mini album is just brilliant, I absolutely love it from start to finish. Every song is so catchy and funny to listen to.


It really made me think of Bowling For Soup how they have fun with their songs but touching on real life stuff. Like on this album, "Same Old Story" is about having a crap job in the cold call centre, still doing everything that they did years ago, nothing has changed. Which is the story for a lot of people.


The album has been described as being about "escaping the myopic cultural life of Little England, of not accepting that this is as good as it gets, about the pull of the city, the feeling of always being different and not fitting in." There aren't many people that wouldn't be able to relate to at least one song on this mini album.


My favourite track is the title track "Small Town Vampire" because it is about living having big dreams of an amazing life when you are mapping out your life and then slowly but surely, each dream is taken away or stomped on. "Small town vampire, big time dreams, just another, blood sucking scene".


I also really love the voices as they are just so English lol.


Get over to Spotify now to listen to it for yourself!
