The debut EP from DIY punk chancers, Thronk, is here! ‘Aggressively Disappointing’ brings you six anthems of raw, unfiltered, enthusiastic Newport punk rock..

No nonsense, minimal pfaf – full-blooded punk rock with an aggressive hardcore edge Thronk aren’t messing about. Singing songs about being Shit at your job figures and with a simple chant of the title you get the message this is easy to sing along to after a bottle of mad dog followed by 15 pints of Fosters and a Jager chaser with every pint.

Modern life might get depressing so why not turn up the stereo and get lost in some punk rock Thronk do and it works for them and what harm can it possibly do? The topics are gritty every day life in South East Wales and why a Bombay Hot Pot is fire whilst Freddo Bars costing as much as ten regal king size – the world has indeed gone mad and Thronk are here to address it.

‘Brownies On Crack’ has a cowbell and a grunt on the rhythm guitar with plenty of wellie on the riff and some well placed “woo-ohs” on the chorus. ‘Since Fucking When?’ isn’t messing about and delivers a swift kick to the testicles before scuttling off – sweet.

‘Inbetweeners’ is a headscratcher but I totally agree with the sentiment ‘Fuck Off Burnley’ is the mantra and everyone can agree with that, shirley? even full-kit wankers. Like the mighty Wonk Unit these boys have a song about Horses and this one is a banger to wrap up proceedings. Again it’s short and sweet much like the rest of this EP so it wont take you long to whip through it and press repeat so you can finish your can of Tennents super. So be good play nice and pop over to their Bandcamp ahead of the new year release and pick up a copy.
