Editorial Reviews

If you're going for pop-rock gold-plating, radio airplay and slot or two sound-tracking Hollyoaks' opening sequences, you want to make a beeline for the big hitters when sieving through your influence list. So North Yorkshire four-piece One Night Only pay little heed to their surroundings and avoid coming out the other side just sounding like the Pigeon Detectives—-though there's certainly a hint of their unapologetically chipper anthem chasing, it's in the county's musical blood by now. Drafting in keyboards the size of an Antarctic ice shelf, "Just for Tonight" opens the album grabbing for The Killers' crown, and damn well gets a decent grip for a while. On that and "He's There" you can barely get a cigarette paper between the two in terms of style and tone, though One Night Only are burning smokeless fuel, there's no mistaking the cleanliness of their construct. Which also reveals the other side of their coin-jerky saccharine MOR in the mould of The Feeling and The Hoosiers, gushing freely (in the stage-managed sense) through "It's About Time" and "It's Alright". It seems that time spent playing in a Blink 182 covers band has rubbed off on their posture in some quarters of the album too--One Night Only clearly want to just get out there and make friends. No grand gestures, no manifesto and in spite of the title no pyrotechnics. Just good clean bundles of fun like "You & Me", essentially a Panda Pop Libertines. And where's the harm in that? --James Berry

Product Description

Vinyl LP pressing of the 2008 debut album from this North Yorkshire five-piece. Produced by the legendary Steve Lilywhite (U2, Morrissey), Started A Fire is a fine blend of classic songwriting and jaunty melodic bounce that will establish One Night Only as the band of 2008. 10 tracks including the singles 'You And Me' and 'Just For Tonight'. Mercury. --This text refers to the Vinyl edition.

This group is AMAZING! I love their energy and George has a naturally good voice. I love their album and have listened to it so many times. Buy the CD! It went gold after it came out. They have a new one comming out August--I've listened to 2 of the songs and I love both of them.

The shipping didn't take too long, but when I received it, the CD jewel case was destroyed. Most of the edges were shattered and the top of the cover doesnt stay attached to the bottom. I know that it is less of a seller issue and more of a shipping issue, but they could have put it in more than a flimsy cushioned mailer.

i have always been a sucker for british pop and these guys deliver the goods. lead vocalist has a very pleasant voice, easy to listen to. very talented bunch of musicians too, but what do i know? not a bad song on the disc.
