It's always brilliant when artists get honest about their influences, and Modern English have just given The Strokes a proper compliment by owning the DNA shared between their 1981 classic and the New York outfit's recent track. The fact that songwriting credits are being adjusted says this wasn't some accidental similarity but a genuine nod to a song that clearly means something to them. For Cledvibes Radio listeners who grew up on post-punk and new wave, it's a nice reminder that the best modern bands aren't afraid to wear their influences on their sleeve, and that sometimes inspiration just has to be acknowledged in the credits where it belongs.
