*Reuben *have returned with their new single proper from their second album, and it is brought forth in their inimitable style: angry and wholly unambiguous lyrics delivered with ferocity and guile in equal measure over a truly thunderous bassline and Foo Fightery guitars. The lush, memorable melodies, the highly (in)appropriate social commentaries courtesy of *Jamie Lenman *et al and the new beefed up sound should be a sure fire summer hit with the kids down the front during their imminent headlining appearance in a tent at Download Festival. Everyone knows that it will never be Reuben's year but it's always fun to imagine that it might be.
