BOYZ 11 AUGUST 2005 4/5 STARS
Hot on the stiletto heels of their recent mini-tour, and following their glorious guest spot reviewing last week's singles, Kim, Chelsea and the lads, otherwise known as the utterly fab-ooh-lous (C Kemal 2005) Readers Wifes, unleash their third single, the electro-aggro anthem 'Nostalgia'.

Hooking up with New York cabaret royalty Justin Bond (of Kiki & Herb fame), the Wifes have once again tossed-off another underground nugget.

A carnival/riot of inspirations, 'Nostalgia' throws everyone from
Giorgio Moroder and Andy Warhol to the Rolling Stones and Soft Cell into the blender. The twisted synths, menacing guitars and snarling vocals are whipped into shape beneath the watchful eye of executive producer and ex-Banshees legend Steven Severin. With remixes from the likes of Princess Julia, Atomizer, Eazy and Miss Ana Mantronic, the cult of the Readers Wifes continues to grow.

METRO 8 AUGUST 2005 4/5 STARS
Had the Pet Shop Boys continued in the Go West vein, they would have arrived at this electro floor-filler about drag queens bitching their way through London’s plusher ‘hoods. With an arch vocal by Kiki And Herb’s Justin Bond.

TIME OUT 3 AUGUST 2005
Imagine Giorgio Moroder, out of his head on Bacardi Breezers, stumbling down the Kings Road with a flamingo on his head, and then multiply that already impressive brilliance by about three. That is how great this record is.

MUSIC WEEK - 25 JULY 2005
This fierce glam-switchblade-disco tune should be the one to catapult London's Readers Wifes into the chart after being tipped in the press. It offers a delirous mix of Moroder-esque synths, punk guitar, snarling vocals and a chorus that just won't quit.

PINNACLE ENTERTAINMENT
Following hard on the heels of their limited edition electro-aggro anthem 'Scumpop / Black Silk Stocking,' Duckie's art-pop, lipstick 'n' switchblade terrorists roar back with this delicious slice of underground dance-rock action.

Giorgio Moroder synth lines, Warhol's transvestite superstars, Charles Hawtrey, the Rolling Stones' ragged decadence and Soft Cell perviness all collide on Nostalgia, a mind-boggling collaboration between the Wifes and New York cabaret giant Justin Bond (Kiki and Herb). Once again the track was executively produced by ex-Banshee Steven Severin.

Justin has a unique and memorable delivery and style which has earned him fans of the highest order, including Deborah Harry (who provided vocals for the last Kiki & Herb album), Siouxsie Sioux, Scissor Sisters (who he has toured with and supported) and Rufus Wainright – who described Justin as 'the greatest performer on earth.'

The 4-minute pop perfection of the Radio Edit has also been remixed to perfection by London's two premier underground clubs. For Nag, Nag, Nag Atomizer have turned in something dark and deeply disturbing (Boy George is already tearing up the New York clubs with this mix) and for The Cock, The Most (Princess Julia and Luke Howard) have fashioned a bright and bouncy work of art that recalls Bobby O's greatest work with Divine.

Also featured across the formats is the never previously released 'Endless Night,' an uncharacteristically downbeat musical tale about a Glasgow prostitute. A bonus track comes in the form of the band's storming live mash-up of the Rolling Stones' 'Let's Spend The Night Together.'
