Spears Shove CD
|
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.

Sloppy Seconds Endless Bummer CD
|
From the opening "Play that piece of shit!!!!", yelled by singer B.A, you know the 10 year wait is finally over and it's time to get drunk & stupid!! This is a fucking rocker right from the off, straight up pop punk "n" roll from the masters. One steamroller of a hit after another with no let up from the opening chord to the last. Well worth the wait in my opinion. Following on pretty much from where "More Trouble Than They're Worth" left off this is a timely re-introduction to the scene by the Junk Rock legends for anyone who may have forgotten what a truly amazing band Sloppy Seconds is. There's a lot of great pop punk out there at the minute and this just makes that scene even more exciting as this is definately top of the heap of recent realeases. With titles like, DIY till we Die!, Kegs R 4 Kids, You Can't Kill Joey Ramone, Thanks for the Mammaries & Shut Up and Pour me a Drink, you know you're onto a winner. Great sound, plenty of ooommph in the guitars, superbly stupid (but intelligent) lyrics and more of a rock n roll flavour, this delivers exactly what Sloppy Seconds worshippers like me waited so long for. A great release from Kid Tested Records, which looks like along with Red Scare, could be a label I'll buy every release. They have already put out a Manges best of, reissued the Parasites "It's Alive" Ramones cover and this gem. They have reissues of out of print Parasites albums + are releasing their latest offering sometime in the Autumn. I can't wait, great fucking start, Sloppy Seconds being the best of the bunch. Keep up the good work!!!
