The new single bodes well for the album. It's brash, it's bubbly and it's fun. Punk isn't just the domain of grizzzled old timers like myself, there's plenty of exciting new bands breathing fresh air into the genre. Qwam are one of them. I'm writing this at 6.45am (so I can get it posted before I set off for work), it's dark and bloody cold outside but this is one of those songs that brightens up the darkest days. It's called Mall...

I got some really really really bad news
My feet too big for my brand new shoes
And I don't know what I'm gonna do
But I'm going home with my brand new shoes

Yeah ya, really, really, wanna

Let’s go to the mall
Play a little pinball
Going on the carousel
And I don’t feel very well
That boy kinda likes me
That girl wants to fight me
I’m gonna eat my french fries
And find another skirt to buy

Lets go to the shops
Gossip til our bodies drop
Lets find some cds
And omg some dvds
Let’s go to the mall
That’s the place they have it all
I’m with my friends tonight
To find another skirt to buy

Let's go to the mall
