Girls Can't Catch have great Titch

There's something a little depressing when you see a Girls Can't Catch updating their MySpace status urging people to watch them perform their new single live on the Alan Titchmarsh show.

This misery is twofold:

1. The updating of a MySpace profile must reach all of about 11 fans - mostly in Malaysia and the occasional Dane.
2. When the Alan Titchmarsh show is considered a viable option for a new pop band to promote their new single, you know music television has hit its lowest peak.

However, every cloud has a silver lining and again - this optimism is twofold:

1. This gives us a nice opportunity to write about a song that we have not found a chance to mention before. 'Echo' is never going to change the world but we have been listening to it a lot recently, and, as modern pop singles go, rate rather highly.
2. The live vocals are really very good - and (dare we say it) better than some of Girls Aloud's appearances on daytime television.

There is also some pleasure to be taken from Titchmarsh musing on how difficult the music industry is and interacting with the girls like a distant uncle at Christmas who hasn't needed to speak to anyone under the age of 20 for several decades.



Marvellous. Out this week btw.
