Alfie Templeman - Forever Isn't Long Enough (Album Review) Friday, 14 May 2021 Photo: Blackksocks To be young is to be messy and unsure of yourself. Unless you’re Alfie Templeman, apparently. To be young and Alfie Templeman is to be assured and focused.

The word is that this isn’t Templeman’s debut LP—it’s being touted as a ‘mini album’ despite having the same number of songs as ‘Born to Run’ and being longer than the first Ramones record—but it might as well serve the same purpose in terms of setting the seal on a sound that is eminently accessible and neatly realised.
