My introduction to Wicketkeeper was the video for magnificent fifth single 'The Side' (an excellent place to start with this excellent band). Soundtracked by the song's spry guitar work and irrepressible vocal hooks – both of which are Wicketkeeper staples – my eye wandered to the comments section where the band themselves had given a reply. In response to a self-congratulatory observation of what may or may not have been a bum note, Wicketkeeper simply replied "if that bothers you, you're going to struggle with the album", unwittingly writing the perfect review for their debut album Shonk.
