What a fantastic sounding opener that got an air of controlled chaos about it with the thumping Bass piercing through the guitars to grab the listener as it lurches with menace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With eleven tracks packed onto this album, you better strap yourself in for a rocket ride of power and controlled aggression but with an overwhelming whiff of Garage rock n roll. &#8216;Bad Connection&#8217; kicks ass right out of the blocks and I like this a lot already. The thrust and adrenalin continue at pace as &#8216;Shake You Down&#8217; thunders in. &#8216;Inbred Respect&#8217; has the beating heart of the Damned era &#8216;Machine Gun Ettiquete&#8217; on its harder more punchy tunes like &#8216;Love Song&#8217;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a spoken intro &#8216;Action Volume&#8217; turns up a bastardised &#8216;Iron Man&#8217; on a fuzzed-out distorted electric guitar.  The song sounds like a hell of a night out with its rolling rhythm before smashing out on the chorus. &#8216;Born To Die In 73&#8217; is straight out 77 punk rock.  Its the snotty distant cousin of early Damned, UK Subs and SLF and a real fist-pumping thumper.  Guitars being rinsed, snare getting a thrashing and full-bodied rhythm &#8211; nice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;The Revolution Is Dead&#8217; tells the story of Lennon&#8217;s assassination and why the future is\/was bleak, but pop culture is alive and kicking and The Revolution might well be around the next corner who knows? Signing off with the super fuzz of &#8216;Lone Astronaut&#8217; this has been a treat on the ears and brain food for the Garage Rock connoisseur.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There has always been great music and this DC Spectres album is a fantastic offering tipping the hat to what&#8217;s gone before and picking up that torch and running into the future with it hopefully inspiring others to play Rock n Roll &#8211; loud, hard, fast and with this much passion and a love of the fine art of the Garage band and what it means. Play on my friends Vol 4 is a mighty fine album that is worthy of being classed as All Killer no Filler!
