Miles Kane is probably better known as half of The Last Shadow Puppets, his side-project with Alex Turner from The Arctic Monkeys. But he also stars as the leading man in The Rascals, a band where the guitars do the talking rather than string sections. On "Rascalize" they churn out twelve psychedelic rock jams that are not awe-inspiring but entertaining nonetheless for fans of The Coral or The Inspiral Carpets with "The Glorified Collector", "Does Your Husband Know That You're On The Run?" and lead single "Freakbeat Phantom" functioning as the album's highlights.

Lacking the talent to actually play in a band, Tom decided he would write about bands instead. Turns out his writing skills are mediocre at best as well.
