Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

There should be a new maxim used in the world of music, that if Boo Hewerdine is happy to endorse you, to take interest in your song writing capability, then who are we to argue.

All Messed Up (And Nowhere To Go) is the debut E.P. from Talk Show, the group sounding pseudonym for Maidstone singer-songwriter Lawrence O’Shea, and the sound that comes across, produced with the same drive and sense of purpose as the man behind the songs, the great Boo Hewerdine, is one that captivates and intrigues in equal measure.
