Via some sparkling production and great arrangements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This compilation pulls together some single mixes in the shape of &#8216;Virus&#8217; and &#8216;Keep On Believing&#8217; and playing with some new mixes as well as some brand new tunes its throwing the kitchen sink effect that will hit your ears in one huge loud production. Can&#8217;t say I&#8217;m up to date on my Grime or my dubstep but I do know when something is done very well and this is that. now the full-on punk rock I do get. &#8216;Learn TO Live With It&#8217;.

Doing this for a decade these guys aren&#8217;t some johnny come lately they know what they&#8217;re doing and do it very well indeed. It is no surprise to see they&#8217;ve worked with Skunk Anansie as well as drawing influence from the Streets and Dubwar as well as classic Ska bands it&#8217;s a real melting pot going on and &#8216;Re: Generation&#8217;  should put them in front of a much bigger audience no question. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buy <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3IoHzkm\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3IoHzkm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Author: Dom Daley <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heavy as a tonne of bricks Landing on your head &#8216;Re: Generation&#8217; kicks off with &#8216;Future Shock&#8217; sounding like a female-fronted Senser when they were at their devastating best mixing it up in the mid-90s. but wait, the pace is changed like a full-speed handbrake turn on &#8216;No Man No Right&#8217; as the band gets [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":24436,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[909],"class_list":["post-24435","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-review","tag-sonic-boom-six"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24435","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=24435"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24435\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24437,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24435\/revisions\/24437"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/24436"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=24435"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=24435"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=24435"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
