Only Real Is My New Sonic Crush

I’m going to cut the bullshit and get straight to the point: click the link down there and download Only Real‘s “Cadillac Girl” right now. It’s an order! I’m totally i-Dosing on it. I’m sonically crushed out. It makes me feel like I’m sat on a beach with Vini Reilly smoking the last crumbs of weed in my pocket so we don’t get pulled up at the door of the Italo show we’re heading to just before sunset.

Up till now, you couldn’t download any of Only Real’s stuff anywhere online, and the only info about Only Real was that it consists of ‘Only Real Guys’ from West London, fronted by an adorably smug-looking, Froot Loops-munching ginger guy.

I took it upon myself to find out more.

So Only Real isn’t a band, it’s just you and your computer in your bedroom? What have you been up to today? South Park King of the Hill How old are you? Who is this “Cadillac Girl” and why is she “so over you”? Or maybe the song’s a cover of some other song? Did “Cadillac Girl” break your heart? You avoided that question so I’m assuming that she did. [Laughs] My bad. Listening to it again it sounds like you’re singing: “She’s all over me”. Anyway. I love the guitar patterns, they sound like a Durutti Column but with more funk. What music do you like? Hieroglyphics
What’s going on in the video for “The Drivethrough”? Is that a party in your bedroom at the beginning? Have you played live yet? What’s next for Only Real? A “creasefest”? Are you signed to a label? Thanks Only Real, keep it real.
Thank for your puchase!
