STYLE: Hard Music RATING OUR PRODUCT CODE: 173642-27599 LABEL: Thumper Punk FORMAT: Digital Only EP
Reviewed by Paul S Ganney
Fast and furious, just as live punk ought to be, this album kicks off in style and doesn't let up. Five tracks, the longest a mere 2:33 long and what it lacks in length it sure makes up for in energy. You sweat just listening to it, so it must have been a cauldron to be at the session. Ramones-like in speed, Sham 69 in guitar and backing vocal style, Damned in lead vocal and drumming, this band don't know the meaning of slumber, just occasionally pausing for breath before leaping back in. The bass-driven riff of "Son Of Perdition" is excellent and shows that they're not just playing as fast as possible, but doing so with style. Short but very energising, just like their songs.
