I remember the first time I heard my home 'area' referred to in a song, I was 5 years old. It features in this list actually, I couldn't comprehend how these people on the radio knew someone that I did, how they knew the same places I did.

Kids from inner city areas and council estates across Greater Manchester who finally had music that depicted our day to day lives, things we saw, things we experienced, tracks that described in detail people we knew.
