The overall sound grabs the listener immediately, hearkening back to big sound of early Clash and Stiff Little Fingers records. There is an urgency to the sounds coming from the speakers that rarely finds its way out of a punk record anymore. The hooks are huge and the disc never loses its sense of melody. Even when razor sharp guitars cut straight through the song, the bass and drums keep everything tight and the whole record keeps your feet tapping and your fist pumping. If this record were to play in your local pub, the Guinness would taste that much better as you raised your pint skyward. FLATFOOT 56
