The Only Team Is England: The England Song

Steven Murray's bracing rock song, out on Recruit Records.

Musical Style: Pop-punk / Powerpop. The Stiffs claim heritage.

Over The Moon: From the corny Carry On pseudonyms WILL WYNNE and VIC TORRY, to the guitar-driven terrace yelling, this song has the fan's authentic ring of enthusiasm. Name-checks players old and new, with some inventive rhymes to shoe-horn them in: "You may have Ronaldhinio, But weve got Rooney you Know ! Cockneys Scousers & Manc lads too, And a Geordie that comes from Liverpool!" Decently catchy melody and doesn't take itself too seriously.

Sick As A Parrot: Tad workmanlike. Production could do with a bit of a LIFT!

Terrace Appeal: 7/10
