A Fireworks Magazine / Rocktopia album review by Mike Newdeck: Formed from the ashes of Dopamine and Adequate Seven, Welsh band Attack! Attack! released their debut to very little fanfare in 2008. It wasn't that it was a poor effort but simply that it was an average one, tapping into the American mainstreams obsession with Fall Out Boy and bands of that ilk. Hardly surprising when you consider that the band was signed to Rock Ridge, an American label. This time round Attack! Attack! (two exclamation marks so that they're not confused with the US band of the same name) have gone up several gears. They still retain the American pop punk slickness but have added a nice hard rock edge in common with other Welsh bands, making 'The Latest Fashion' sound like a credible amalgam of Kids In Glass Houses and Lost Prophets ... http://ping.fm/Cd7Gn
