The Long Blondes
Sheffield glamour fiends debate the politics of love

Some will mark them as the emotional realists to their Sheffield kin the Arctic Monkeys’ gritty social realism. Others will hail ‘Weekend Without Make-Up’ as the love conundrums of ’80s pop à la Stock, Aitken and Waterman given a DIY makeover. But it wouldn’t be love, would it, if it ran smooth?
