Bring It Back Home: Toshk

Bring it Back Home is currently available on Toshk’s myspace and will be released by Scufd Music in the near future.

Musical Style: Unashamedly retro early 80s synth pop style with suitably brooding vocals.

Over the moon: This unusual approach for an England World Cup anthem takes a positive stance, sharing the sentiments of many that this could finally be our year (don’t mention the Rooney). You get the sense that Toshk had a lot of fun recording this song, and the result is a rather catchy tune, but not one that says a lot about the 2006 World Cup. Just in case you weren’t already feeling nostalgic enough, the Professionals theme tune is thrown into the mix

Sick as a Parrot: The song wanders a little off course towards the end although more tweaking is on the cards before the final product is released. More likely to fill the dance floor at a 80s disco then raise the voices in the stadiums. The lyric “we can do it, believe it, but just don’t let Gazza sing” is almost as retro as the musical style.

Terrace Appeal: 5/10
