A collision of grimey beats, razor-sharp lyrical dissection of 2007 nightlife and a whole dollop of flouro-pop sensibility, Hadouken! exploded into 2007 with the release of their Radio One championed 12" 'That Boy That Girl'. Confusing some, tickling most, their kaleidoscopic approach modern pop music is exhilarating. The song was released as a 1000 record limited pressing, with 500 of these being coloured in by the band themselves, which is now somewhat of a collectors item. [1]
