Pulled together from a bunch of demos, and an EP that never got released until now obviously.  It&#8217;s been fermenting for over two decades but it doesn&#8217;t sound dated or left behind &#8216;The Screw&#8217; being an absolutely thunderous tune. That is as tight as a drum and rapid as fuck. The punk kids will love &#8216;Janeane Hates Herself&#8217; as it rattles along. NOFX rings out on &#8216;On Top&#8217; but I do like the riff on &#8216;The Cut&#8217; a great low-end rumble and a rigid middle digit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ten tracks on offer aren&#8217;t all crash bang wallop with the closing track being quite a laid-back tempo &#8216;City Of Lost Children&#8217; maybe this genre has seen its zenith but there are still plenty of bands out there cutting the mustard and doing it well.  Often it&#8217;s finding out who, where and when in the digital age there is so much music it&#8217;s often a full-time job trying to keep up with bands you&#8217;ve always loved without bands pulling up trees behind the first waves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s the beauty of this here internet it&#8217;s made the world a whole lot smaller and easier to discover bands and albums from the other side of the spinning rock the only problem I get is there aren&#8217;t enough hours in the day or days in the week and this is a decent example of a solid record making a welcome debut many moons after the recordings were made.
