\"\"<\/a>New York New York so good they named it twice.\u00a0 when I think of the big apple I think of Travis Bickle, the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, CBGB, The Ramones, Dictators, The Dolls, Johnny Thunders, Warriors, Central Park, and a stack of bullshit-free rock and rollers who kick out the jams mother fuckers!<\/p>\n

Twiggy Branches are chewing out the rhythm down to rock away beach with their sloppy, garage, punk rock n roll slice of the big apple with a dash of Jayne County and more than a slug of the Dictators going on. From the hectic opening of ‘The Patient Twiggy Branches’ it’s glamourous with a hint of danger and when you get into the dark and dangerous ‘Am I Going Sane?’ with the lovely rumbling bass that walks all over the lower east side.\u00a0 for Gawds sake it’s got cowbell and I’m loving it a little more with every play.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

‘I Was Mary Shelley In A Past Life’ is a thunderous attitude adjusting Rock and Roll that makes me want to throw my arms in the air and hail that yes I’m a believer and let the Rock and Roll rain down on me. ‘Runt Of The Litter’ is some 70s’ inspired glam that has some Alice Cooper meets Bowie or Mott The Hoople going on hell Bolan would boogie to this.<\/p>\n

I think my favourite on the album is the bass heavy ‘Therapeutic Drag’ as it thunders out of the speakers flexing its bicep like its the cock of the walk.\u00a0 A great mix of old school punk rock and dirty glam. Throwing some David Johansen harmonica into the mix on ‘Be My Babylon’ is excellent.\u00a0Christopher Pravdica who blows the gob iron also hits the bass with aplomb and elevates this album from the pack with a great balance. ‘Juxtaparanoisolation’ is a brooding heaving beast of a track that offers something different.<\/p>\n

To sign off this album it’s a classic eight-track just like the good old days, ‘Dr Dealer’ delivers the magic potion that is needed every now and again and an album that opens with a corker of a song seems fitting that it should end with a punch to the throat (musically of course) that just about caps off a really impressive debut album.\u00a0 Check it out or miss out.<\/p>\n
