Ah, Virals, not so much rising from the grave of the brilliant Lovvers (which they used to be) but continuing that bands movement from the snotty, Germs punk-aggro that defined them when they burst onto the 'scene' in 2007 to their second album's lo-fidelity love-punk, all happy jump-up-and-down pogo rhythms and blasts of noise.


Virals is psych-freak-pop, cleansing the ex-Lovvers' frontman Shaun Henchers soul of the last of it's desire to be spitting into the audience, and instead wanting to sing love songs and play tunes that girls can like and play shows that boys can take their girlfriends too, the kind of shows that you don't leave saying "that was brilliant - i lost a tooth".
