This is the second tape from the London grunge/punk outfit who are making their name on the circuit, and it shows considerable maturity and development since their first self-titled tape released less than a year ago. A change in line up (Unwritten! is now a trio) has led to tighter sound, but the band has lost nothing of its up-front attitude and in-your-face lyrics. "Looking For The Reasons" is a catchy number with a hook somewhat reminiscent of "Cannon Ball" by the Breeders and with the exception of the brooding "Get Out Of The Corner (Go Tell Of The Lord)" the rest of this four track tape continues to follow in the punk tradition of the Jam and Biohazard. with classic three minule up tempo, noisy songs with just the right amount of melody. Recorded and co-produced by Derek Fudge, who's also worked with Sleeper. Pop Will Eat Itself and the Buzzcocks. this tape is a must for grunge and punk fans.
