Croydon noise-makers Frauds have been making a racket on the live circuit for a couple of years now. The undeniably heavy and equally hilarious satirical two-piece have put in their time, gradually working their way up line-ups with their witty brand of rowdy alt-rock and an unshakable sense of community spirit. The dynamic duo have just released 'Smooth' into the digital world, a track which has been a pillar of Frauds' live set for a little while. The clunkiness of the verses keeps you on your toes before the tension builds in an intense sprint towards the chorus, where Chris and Mikey's ever-amusing lyrics take centre stage. The annual Frauds summer party Sunburn#3 takes place at the Brixton Windmill this Saturday, featuring heavy psych merchants Melt Dunes and many more. A £7 advance ticket gets you a whole day of great bands and a BBQ lunch...What's not to like? -HLMX
