Harrisons: No Fighting In The War Room (Melodic)  
By Matthew Hirtes  
Monday, 28 January 2008

Echo And The Bunnymen, The Teardrop Explodes, and The Icicle Works. Three groups at the epicentre of Liverpool’s early ‘80s Neo-Psychedelia movement. And a trio of bands who employed a producer by the name of Hugh Jones.

Sheffield upstarts Harrisons, named after Harrison Road in their native Hillsborough, recorded No Fighting In The War Room, their debut album, with the selfsame Hugh Jones in five weeks at Lincolnshire’s Chapel Studios. Whilst there’s no disguising the producer’s trademark jangly sound, NFITWR also hints at a shared group childhood spent in bedrooms adorned by posters of The Jam and The Clash. So, although we’re well into the noughties, this album could conceivably date from any time from the late ‘70s onwards.

The Twang, The Enemy, and Harrisons. Three bands chasing the indie-rock pound. The Enemy look like they’re winning the race, but, on this showing, Harrisons are breathing so hard down their Coventry rivals’ necks that they risk being prosecuted for stalking.
