Bang Bang/Life Without Balloons

The Debut Single Bang Bang goes weak at the knees for The Only Ones, pants like a puppy but shakes like a Shrangi-La! Confused? They are. Mood swings are beautifully captured. Life Without Balloons, steady, widescreen cold reality. not edgy, but on edge.

The edge of greatness?

This collectable Vinyl release also comes with a 4 page comic and free downloads of the tracks. Touch!

The Late Greats, a fantastic band from the UK. Their music is a unique collection of eclectic pop and power rock that seem to blend together seamlessly. Watch out for these guys.
The Underrated

Eastbourne. Ladies tennis. Party political conferences. Not widely known for its music scene. But The Late Greats bring this sleepy bastion of Victorian seaside England up to date with this double-a side single.
'Bang bang' is just that, all crash bang wallop drums and jangly guitars heading of in their own hectic directions. In contrast 'Life Without Balloons' seems to be more like Morrissey's 'Every Day is Like Sunday' while capturing a bit of that grandiose coastal town ballroom atmosphere with the massive echoing production.
Tasty Fanzine

the debut single from the late greats on new label izumi records. they are a bright, nervous and strong. they write songs from their hearts, albeit their messy hearts. 'bang bang' is part the sound of deltasonic records back catalouge mixed with the energy of the early the only ones. the flip 'life without balloons' is a more laid-back and has the feel of an indie band that have lived on a diet of obscure 60's 7"s. i'm hearing comet gain and 'the painted world' era television personalities. limited and numbered to 500 copies on heavyweight 7" vinyl. it comes with a free download of the tracks and a comic.
