A 30 Minute blast of relentless genre bending, old school pop punk inspired hardcore from some of punks most wanted. Not much use in trying to pin down a certain genre, as these guy’s defy any label attempted to place them in.
Contains members of Pink Lincolns, Down By Law, D.R.I. and Hated Youth.

| This is what punk rock is all about in my opinion. You have a singer like Chris Barrows (Pink Lincolns, Jackie Papers) who fronts the stage like a dog with mange. It is almost like he is punishing the music (which might as well be background noise). This is great. It reminds me of the elements of punk rock that I first loved about it when I was a young teenager. It does need to be said that although this could not be considered 'post-punk' it is indeed a more mature sound from Borrow's previous efforts. |

| Not surprisingly The Spears sound alot like the Pink Lincolns, Reason? - Chris Barrows. This is the ex Pink Lincolns vocalists' new band and also contains former/current members of Down by Law & DRI (I was surprised too!). They deliver snotty and tuneful 80's influenced hardcore punk rock along the lines of Barrow's former band. Although the musicianship is alot more accomplished, as is the production quality, but does that make it better? I'm not sure. The Pink Lincolns were a great band and that had much to do with Chris Barrows for sure, but this CD maybe doesn't have the charm, rawness and energy of certainly the early output of that band. The Pink Lincolns sound is represented on this release but because of the musical skill (particularly Sam Williams) of the other members this sometimes comes off as a little "too polished". Don't get me wrong, this is no huge slickly produced attempt at being the next - insert generic modern punk band name here - but I guess the high benchmark left by the Pink Lincolns is something I was really yearning for with this release. In saying all that this is pretty fucking great and has not left my stereo since I bought it, Barrows still has quite a bit to say and never disappoints lyrically. This is the perfect union between, to the point, non pretentious lyrics and great overtly early American hardcore punk rock. Sometimes we forget why we listen to what we listen to, this is a reminder of everything that is good about punk rock done right. Highly recommended. |
