Reviews Edit

In reviews, Backfire at the Disco is said to "gnaw itself into your brain like some kind of tropical disease".[1] It is also said to be one of "three superb singles in a row from The Wombats".[1] The video contains a pastiche of the famous derided 1979 video from Cliff Richard "Wired for Sound". This involves people in lurid spandex outfits on roller skates. The Cliff Richard video is currently in the Top 5 Worst Videos ever made on VH1.
