Every once in a while, an album comes along that doesn\u2019t just exceed your expectations but totally blows them out of the water.\u00a0 \u2018Sublime Destruction\u2019, the new 11 track album from London punk rockers Desperate Measures is one such record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently inking a deal with Cadiz Music (home to the likes of Cockney Rejects and The Loveless) the signs were always promising regarding what Desperate Measures might do next after their excellent \u2018Rinsed\u2019 mini album came kicking and screaming into the post Covid world back in 2021. At the time I remember saying that the quartet\u2019s particular twist on the punk rock genre was \u201cdelivered like a boot to the privates\u201d, but with \u2018Sublime Destruction\u2019 there\u2019s a whole lot more for you to worried about other than a kick to the coin purse. But hold on a minute, I\u2019m getting ahead of myself here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The immediate positives in the run up to the recording of this record where not only that the band retained a stable line up of vocalist Eugene Butcher, guitarist Gaff, drummer James Sherry and bassist Ricky McGuire but also that they were able to reunite with \u2018Rinsed\u2019 producer Andy Brook, the man who gave Gaff\u2019s guitar more chunk than Fatty Jones\u2019, err\u2026 and by that I of course mean his legendary sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
