A Google search reveals bugger all and so given that there&#8217;s no press blurb with my download, much like Batman, their identities will remain a closely guarded secret.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, on with the show. A first blast of \u201cAre We All Damned\u201d puts me in mind of Mega City Four, Goldblade, Cock Sparrer and SLF.\u00a0 Short and sweet is the order of the day, weighing in at only 9 tracks it&#8217;s fast, it&#8217;s mean it&#8217;s frightening !!!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSatellite\u201d is a pretty cool and direct opener, the kind of stuff you expect to be stomping the stage at Rebellion. \u201cAll The Little Things\u201d gets a little poppier and romantic, while \u201cFamily Girl\u201d is a bit more rock &amp; roll, with a familiar but great riff.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Topper set out their stall from the off and stick to their guns. There are some cool tunes on show here like \u201cVivos O Muertos\u201d and \u201cShe Was Too Young\u201d. Nothing that&#8217;s going to blow your mind but enough to keep your head nodding throughout.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to seeing Topper live because I think they&#8217;ll put on a hell of a show, whoever they are ??!!??<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/toppersthlm\/?ref=br_rs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1P21HHWoPXY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Topper are a straight up, foot to the floor punk rock band from Stockholm, Sweden and that&#8217;s about all I know about them.
