Don't be fooled by the opening to this CD. Wobbly trad gospel gives way to full throated circa 1977 punk. This brings back happy memories of Sham 69 and The Clash, with plenty of terrace-style shouting, but at the same time some deft playing. Heck! These guys even LOOK like the Cockney Rejects too! With an authentic 20 minutes running time for its eight tracks, this will be music to the ears of those who lament the passing of the good old days of guitar bands, and a time when the term "garage band" really did mean a band who practised in the garage because they were too loud for anywhere else!
