Dynamite. My favourite album so far this year - and of course it's not new, only new to the UK through Kingsway's convoluted deal via Spark Music which brings old Frontline albums to some UK bookstores. A blitzing energetic mix of non-stop rhythms, grooves and searing guitar solos that blend the occasional organ, blues sax and industrial noise to some simply atomic percussion and footstomping, shout along vocals. And to think this band started off doing '60's throwback' things on their first album. 'Jacob's Trouble' is full of instrumental, lyrical and production surprises that leave you saying "Yes!" at every turn. These twelve meaty tracks may not comprise a classic album but I'd recommend anyone to grab a hold of 'Jacob's Trouble' and wrestle 'em through til dawn.
