BMX Bandits - The Road of Love is Paved with Banana Skins

I'm not the world's biggest BMX Bandits fan - surprisingly, you might think, given my general adoration for all things Scottish and indiepop. But there are a few exceptions to this rule. Bis, for example. We won't go there.

But even if Duglas Stewart and co. have never floated my boat in the way that so many of their co-scenesters do, they're an awfully hard band to dislike, with their clever titles and breezy Beach Boyesque melodies. They'd never be my first choice, but I'd have them in the mix somewhere.

This is a track from their 2003 "comeback" album Down at the Hop.
