Kenickie 'Come Out 2 Nite' (Fierce Panda, 1996)

Punk-pop thrills and spills from the short-lived 90s self-styled punkas from Tyne and Wear.

Lauren Laverne, now a fully-fledged telly presented, author and BBC 6 Music presenter, was the driving force behind the band, a cartoon indie pop band that had some deceptively sharp songs. Personal faves were 'Punka' and 'People We Want' from the EMI debut album and 'Come Out 2 Nite' from this Fierce Panda 7-inch.

Opening with handclaps, a spunky buzz of guitar driving the song forward with Laverne's artfully sneery vocals and a driving Glitter-band drum beat, it's a rousing call-to-party and it's over and done in under two minutes. Which is very punk.
