Hoi Polloi
Happy Ever After
Reviewed by Gargantuan
This is the first time I've heard Hoi Polloi and this kicks butt! However I'm sure this doesn't sound like old Hoi Polloi. This is well worth spending money to purchase. 11 songs of infectious alterna-pop music with a hard edge on some of the tunes. "Tip-Toe" is simply a killer tune and well worth having the rest of the disc over, but it gets better, the rest of the songs are just as cool, plus Jenny Gullen's vocals are superb by any standard! Go now and live Happy Ever After!
