The Pop Larkins: The Pop Larkins ( 1991-1994) (Fourtrak Records)

Google "The Pop Larkins" and the top hits are an animal sanctuary, a garden centre and a Wikipedia entry for TV show The Darling Buds Of May.

Some way down the list you'll arrive at the web page of Fourtrak Records where you'll learn it was also the name of a gang of "cheeky boozebags" from Greenock who sounded like a ProTools mash-up of Teenage Fanclub, The Jesus And Mary Chain and The Only Ones. Not that ProTools was much used in the early 1990s when The Pop Larkins were ripping it up at the Dug Out and Rico's.
