It’s been a while since I had the pleasure of reviewing an album on the wonderful No Front Teeth Records label and when I got notice that London noise merchants Desperate Fun were putting out an album on the label I just had to hand over my money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This three-piece of Noisesmiths kick up a right nasty noisy racket in the same DIY mode as Cavemen with a dash of Chisel thrown in for good measure. Formed in 2017 these peeps have been raised on a steady diet of Spar lager, cheap spirits even cheaper amphetamines and a whole infusion of original 77 punk from the Brian James school of great tone and a handful of sharp riffs and a longing for Radio Birdman, MC5, The Saints and Dead Boys plus a heap of other cool sound and style instigators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Gangster Woman’ kicks off the shakedown sounding like buzzsaw UK Subs its in your face, aggressive, loose (In a Stooges Kinda way) all the ingredients I was looking for. I can’t imagine there were too many takes before this was committed to tape (just as it should be) Snotty as fuck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a total of seven songs on the album with a live track (‘About Your Period’) and a pair of demos to sign this bad boy off with. ‘Goodbye’ is two minutes of letting it all out Brian James style with gang vocals that are rough as fuck as it slams into ‘Hollow’ Paolo Piras on vocals is barking out his words like a cross between Rotten and Persey when they were at their most pissed off. Theres no let up in the piss and poison pouring out of the tracks as the lethal ‘You’d Better Realize’ barks and snaps out of the speakers like a rabid dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Theres a swagger about ‘I Wish You Were Dead’ with its extended intro its a hoot and played loud is a real joy from the distorted licks to the drum thumping all holding up the howling vocals that are sneering out of your speakers it must have been a joy for the wonderfully talented \u00a0Ben Perrier to produce. No frills no tricks no bullshit just unadulterated raw rock and fuckin roll at its finest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Theres on for the cancel culture crew ‘Born To Wank’ and ‘Speedfreak’ isn’t what I was expecting as Desperate Fun most definately fuck with the listener on the intro before kicking right off. To be fair the live track doesn’t sound much different to the studio tracks (ok so I’m streatching it a tiny bit) but it makes me jealous that I’ve not had the chance to see them live yet and have beer and sweat thrown at me from all quarters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All thats left to say is what a rush, and if you’re still reading then you know you should alrady be opening their bandcamp page and picking up a copy. It’ll annoy your neighbours and give you a whole heap of punk points -Buy It!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
