\"\"<\/a>Top of the list of \u201cbands I should have seen live before I moved\u201d, Pussycat And The Dirty Johnsons are back with album number four, \u2018Beast\u2019. Check out any live footage of the band, and you\u2019ll see what I mean. Puss was born for the stage, and with the perfectly fuzzed riffs of Dirty Jake and tribal drums of Filfy Antz, they are a three-piece who command your attention.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t panic, but some songs are over three minutes long, and one breaks the four-minute barrier. Almost prog length by their standards, but the music remains as feral as ever. As \u2018Lying In My Bed\u2019 batters your speakers with the fear of \u201cexistential dread\u201d, yet you can still shake your bones to it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There is much, righteous anger and venom across the twelve songs, which shouldn\u2019t surprise anyone familiar with their work. Keeping an essentially live sound works well, \u2018Doin It\u2019 is perfect for a sweaty club, encouraging you to follow your dreams, regardless of the doubters. Zero tolerance of idiots and hidden agendas runs through \u2018Not Your Baby\u2019, \u2018Knee Jerk\u2019 and \u2018Shit\u2019, while \u2018Stale\u2019 despairs at the small town attitudes of \u201cBasingstoke psychosis\u201d (in itself a good title). \u2018Abuser\u2019 is plain talking, while the four plus minutes is devoted to \u2018Do Ya Feel Me?\u2019, their unique take on a love song, when you wait to see each other again.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2018Hey Honey\u2019 builds from an almost hushed intro, a list of the inevitable judgements of others for carving out your own path. Puss and co. chose their own way long ago. It\u2019s the only way to be happy, and they\u2019re on fine form here.<\/p>\n
