Is it really three years since Mad Daddy released their debut album? Time flies when you\u2019re getting old, and I play it regularly, so I was pleased to hear a second album was about to arrive. With a new rhythm section, but still retaining their grimy roots, fear not. Nothing has changed for the Iggy-endorsed Manx rockers. If it ain\u2019t broke, e.t.c\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Too Tough To Die\u2019 kicks off with the title track, another primal riff that clouts you round the head, and some snappy wah-wah. A sonically perfect three minutes. \u2018Hot Chicks\u2019 would really suit Iggy, strutting defiantly as it does. And Dolyn\u2019s harmonica playing is even more assured, this time around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The four songs from the \u2018Road Racer\u2019 EP are included here, remixed, but I\u2019m eager to hear the new tunes, and it\u2019s all good news. \u2018I\u2019m An Outsider\u2019 is equal parts Ramones and Pistols, so what\u2019s not to like? They are clearly loving playing the songs. This time around, only the singles will be available on streaming services, so you\u2019ll need to order the CD (vinyl to come later). This is a smart move, as it\u2019s nigh on impossible for bands to keep going nowadays. And \u2018Stoned\u2019 is another good reason to put in your preorder now. Simple, infectious stuff that will get you bopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Ride That Train\u2019 is like Dr Feelgood on bad drugs after a long night, very much my thing. \u2018Give It Some\u2019 most certainly does, the only song over four minutes long here, but we\u2019re fair rattling along, distorted slide guitar and brutal drumming. The band have kept their edge, whilst getting tighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With gigs coming up around the UK in April and May, you\u2019d be daft to miss them. They\u2019ve avoided the \u201cdifficult second album\u201d syndrome. If you love dirty punk n roll, they\u2019re worthy of your hard-earned cash. It\u2019s not a tough decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
