Hailing from Bologna in Italy Cut peddle a post punk garage rock n roll sound with sharp angular riffs rasping floor tom drum drills and decent vocals that remind me of International Noise Conspiracy as the songs unfold thats exactly who they remind me of, off kilter rhythms, delivered at pace.

This is their seventh album and the first in six years and the first with the “New” drummer Tony. You have thirteen songs of variety and I love the uneasy rhythmic ‘I Ain’t Got You’ as its jerkin’ rhythm evolves around the drums with a sharp guitar and jarring desperate vocals. Impressive stuff. The theme of the album deals with the pandemic and the ‘Dead City Nights’. The rhythm pattern of drum and bass works well on the head fuck of ‘Your Face’ which has a beating heart force-fed on classic Therapy? and other uncompromising bands who dish out cold angular rock n roll from all directions. More chanting at you than singing whilst the guitars attack from all corners.

To find out these three have shared the stage with th elikes of Iggy , Royal Trux and Guitar Wolf comes as no suprise and whover is pairing these up has done a great job and the quality of the songs ensures they are in good company and vice versa. Cut do a great line in rapid disjointed jarring punk rock n roll and tracks like ‘Dig It!’ work really well.

The album’s title track is a dark meandering pulverising song that works well in the middle of the record from the tortured intro to the hypnotic beat. Great stuff. An impressive album that works really well as a whole or diving in now and then.
