Time and probably history hasn't been kind to Menswear, They took the brunt of the britpop backlash and fairly or unfairly the band were doomed pretty much from the moment they burst from the Good Mixer and onto the front cover of Melody Maker
This has got a few good singles on it but in an attempt to stretch it out the songs into an album it fails to hit the high marks of say I'll Manage Somehow, The gigs they played at the time were however fantastic... shambolic might sum them up too, the band rattled through there set in about 25 minutes and fucked off.... at least they played every song they knew and not many bands can claim to have done that !!
