Only eight songs pass the two-minute mark, and just one, a new version of early single <em>Beach 90<\/em>, makes it beyond three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s plenty to enjoy; from 2010 debut album <em>Attention! Deficit! Disorder!<\/em> we get revamped versions of <em>I Wanted It All<\/em>, <em>Monkey Boy<\/em>, <em>Not Another Minute<\/em>, <em>Gimme Gimme Plastic Surgery<\/em> and <em>I Need A Nurse<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DeeCRACKS - &quot;Don&#039;t Turn Your Heart Off&quot; (Official Music Video)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CUgjT56uX-I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From 2014&#8217;s <em>Beyond Medication<\/em> we get <em>Charite Forever<\/em>, <em>Down Out And Low<\/em>, <em>Don&#8217;t Rely On Me<\/em>, <em>Adderall <\/em>and <em>Stroll The Streets<\/em>, while from 2017&#8217;s <em>Sonic Delusions<\/em> we get <em>Standing On My Head<\/em>, <em>Valentine<\/em>, <em>Mentaline <\/em>and <em>Shambles<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s a generous handful of songs that were originally B-sides or on split singles and EPs, and four songs from their most recent album, 2021&#8217;s <em>Serious Issues<\/em> (<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ipamusic.co.uk\/?p=5676\">reviewed here<\/a><\/strong>), make the cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Standout moment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For me, one of them, <em>Don&#8217;t Turn Your Heart Off<\/em> is the standout moment of their entire career so far, and the pumped-up version here has a huge hook and a chorus you can&#8217;t help singing along to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t just take my word for it though, check &#8217;em out for yourself. What are you waiting for? 1,2,3,4!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DeeCracks are for fans of the Ramones (obviously), Teenage Bottlerocket and The Lillingtons.
