Tuning out in droves

It’s been a year since Hadouken! first painted the world’s door neon then kicked it down with ‘That Boy That Girl’, during which time the band has failed - despite outrageous hype - to have a hit single or even release a proper album.

Now it looks as though their cautious approach may come back to haunt them in the shape of the brilliantly-named Fabio Lendrum, who looks set to steal their ravepop thunder with ’Rebel Rebel Go Go’, a song which sounds like Max Gogarty doing a mashup of H!’s own ‘Tuning In’ and ‘Yeah Yeah’ by Bodyrox.

The challenge now for Hadouken! is this: hurry the fuck up, or fuck the fuck off.
