Firstly, as Kerbdog, they were in Kilkenny while everything was happening in Camden and then the uncompromising rock sound of Wilt's debut "Bastinado" fell on deaf ears while the public were listening to the banal sounds of Travis and Turin Brakes.

The new songs show little evolution from the band but rather evidence of time spent fine-tuning a sound that they pioneered in the first place, upcoming single "Take Me Home" for example is a slice of perfect pop, frantic drumming and scorching vocals.
