Among 13 tracks of sparkly pop-punk, London Queen sees the former Charlotte Aitchison crib Joey Ramone's snotty sneer, while Break the Rules is set to soundtrack a cafeteria food fight coming to a big screen near you.
Cue Boom Clap, where near-whispered verses and onomatopoeia collide with a gigantic, cascading chorus, suggesting more than a bratty pop behemoth in the making.
