More `80’s hair than the glam they obviously aimed for in the first place, Diamond Nights follow on from the likes of the Darkness in revisiting a genre of music that, despite however much irony is spread over the top of it, just isn’t funny.

When it’s announced on “Drip Drip” that “We are your overlords”, it just gets too much. The likes of Cheap Trick and other respectable names like Red Kross may be referenced, it reality much of Popsicle is actually much more closely aligned with Def Leppard.

Unfortunately, Popsicle goes nowhere near managing to scale the giddy heights of Hysteria, but it certainly does sound like fellow Sheffield hair metal revivalists Pink Grease. But where they’ve got the excuse of being, y’know, from Sheffield, what’s these New Yorkers raison d’etre? Other than snorting a bucketful of coke from the arse-crack of a high-class hooker? Not a great deal.
