WHAT'S THE SCORE? Led by the funniest frontman around, Alan Donohoe, The Rakes have moved beyond the jerky punk of their debut while remaining totally loveable.

ANY GOOD? Smashing. Cracking dancey rock about a messed-up nine-to-five life; the big time beckons.

IN FIVE WORDS? The Strokes with emplyment history.
