Seldom can I recall hearing lyrics so trite as on the opening song of The Diamond Sea's album, Second Move. "We'll fly away to Spain and steal a Jaguar/We'll sit on a beach, drink champagne and eat caviar" they whine before equating France with cheese and Beaujolais. At least when Crass stated the world owed them a living you could imagine them going out and grabbing what they felt they were due. The Diamond Sea sound as if they'll never open their bedroom door to take the first step in a life of bold brigandry.

Guards, despite the name, is pretty much a one man band in the shape of Richie Follin (also one quarter of Willowz) and this is his seven track debut EP performing under this moniker.
