Album of the week is from a band from Farnborough, I Plead Irony. Farnborough was home to one of my favourite indie bands from the 90s, Mega City Four, and IPI are made up of two-thirds of another band from that town, Ipanema, of which ex-MC4 singer Wiz was the frontman. Confusing? Just buy the record!
