The Androids - Do It With Madonna

Okay the question on everyone's lips, will these guys be one hit wonders? Based on what i've heard live and at their website (www.theandroids.com), i think there's some more tricks up their sleeves past this song, i doubt i need to review it because i'm sure everyone has heard it by now...

The included BSides aren't really anything special (disapointly so), "Gone" is a punk rocker, but lacking the attitude that the single gives off. Whilst the guitar work on the instrumental track "Overdose" is good, one can't help but think it would be best suited to the background music of a Wide World of Sports Wild Winter Weekend Promo). "Inside Out" is more like it, it sounds like it could easily evolve into a Superjesus song, it just has that undeniable feel to it and is easily the next best song on the release.

These guys will have a nice career, because there's substance behind the joke, but i feel that for the most part the songs on this single equate to a bit of spring cleaning. The Madonna song is catchy and clever but I eagerly await the next offering.
