Hamfatter
The Girl I Love

Hamfatter

WE SAY

Releasing this song after their successful appearance on this weeks Dragons' Den programme, Cambridge band Hamfatter certainly seem to have got widespread press coverage in the media at the right time, but what of the music? 'The Girl I Love' showcases a good knack for melody and very decent songwriting - we're sure this will now find an audience. Their third studio album 'What Part of Hamfatter Do You Not Understand?', their first financed under the Dragons' Den deal, will be released next month. The debate on whether it's a short-termist stunt or a genuine model has already started on our messageboard - pitch in. JF
