"Wool Behaviour is an essential work, containing all the best elements of beat-rock'n'roll" FREAK OUT MAG (Italy)

"Don't miss this fantastic pop bomb called Wool Behaviour!" FOUTRAQUE (France)

"Coming in at just under 30 minutes, the level remains consistently and ludicrously high. Had it been released in 1965, Gavaghan would have been effortlessly storming the charts. 9/10. " OX FANZINE (Germany)

"Gavaghan is up there with the best songwriters in the grand history of English popular music" VOIX DE GARAGE (France)

"...the 50s and 60s charm is irresistible. Wool Behaviour is the ultimate jukebox, peppered all with the best ingredients of the rock n roll era." UNDERDOG MAG (Germany)

"Fiery tunes of the most brilliant rock n roll. Class" MUZZART (France)

"Recalling the glory days of Merseybeat and Motown...Ten tracks that, one after the other, slide seamlessly together" RUMORE (Italy)

Alex Gavaghan, guitarist with Liverpool garage-blues nuts The Cubical, returns with his solo follow up to the critically acclaimed Binman of Love (Freaksville, 2015).
Wool Behaviour was recorded with live band The Boss Jockeys in the place were they’ve honed their craft with many a frantic performance, The Caledonia, Liverpool.
The ten tracks were recorded one boozy afternoon in the practice room above the pub, as Gavaghan explains:
“I like the sound of the drums in that room, very Motowny, so I thought we could build a nice live feel around that. I recorded it all live to 8 tracks, vocals and all. I kept all the original takes and added overdubs over the top to beef up the sound. It’s raw as f**k but the energy of the band really comes across and the performances are great!”
The result is a fizzing album of raucous Merseybeat Rock n' Roll bubbling over with melody and harmonies but with a distinctly rough edge - “ It's a ballsy little record ” asserts Alex.
Indeed, it’s all over in 28 minutes and tracks such as Black & White Dress, Give Your Love To Me and Couldn't Keep My Big... more
