I dare say that most people reading this probably aren't old enough to remember the early 1980s, but ask your dad about effeminate looking boys smothered in make-up while dressed in long raincoats like a gang of transvestite peeping toms and he'll no doubt quiver at those ponces_ who used to ruin his Thursday night extravaganza of Legs & Co.* and Abba*.

Whether Plastic Heroes remember such times is debatable, but their three-minute opus 'Every Day Is For You' - which is akin to Steve Strange meeting Bowie's 'Heroes'in a dark alley off Berwick Street while Japan twiddle with Kim Wilde's 'Kids In America' in some basement flat in Shoreditch - sounds like it was genetically engineered for a time when all five original members of Duran Duran would walk onstage together again...

Oddly enough, this would probably have sounded dated back in 1982 yet today is as refreshing as a pint of Evian to someone who's just completed the London marathon.
