News: Underground Lovers release remastered vinyl of their 1992 classic ‘Leaves Me Blind’
You really can’t get much better than ‘Leaves Me Blind’, the 1992 magnum opus from the seminal Underground Lovers – their second album.

The collaboration has resulted in a bright and breezy jangling gem with a confusion of quotation marks, ‘Stallin”. Mountainous choruses and scything sparkling guitars collude to …
