Hurtling along at breakneck speed,  barely breaking for breath, it&#8217;s a sonic splash that will get the pulse racing and a smile on any self-respecting rock n roll chops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Recorded live in under two weeks at Edwyn Collins\u2019 studio in the Highlands of Scotland, with engineer Sean Reed and mixed by David Wrench (Manic Street Preachers, Let\u2019s Eat Grandma, Blur, Baxter Dury), for &#8216;Bored Animal&#8217; His Lordship decided to streamline their sound (is that even possible? there&#8217;s only the two of them) this record has a joir de vivre and a throw it in the air and see what happens about it knowing the bare facts that they have written som ebanging tunes so what will be will be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"His Lordship - I Fly Planes Into Hurricanes\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/P-SQBE9xRV8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On the opening title track, clanging guitars and loud drums rattle the speakers and set the tone for what&#8217;s heading the listeners&#8217; way.  James Walbourne and Kris Sonne race through the songs with clever lyrics, which lean into scorching anarchic destructive rock \u2018n\u2019 roll,  \u2018Old Romantic\u2019, jabbing \u2018Downertown\u2019, distorted punk \u2018Marc-Andre L\u00e9clerc\u2019, noise rock \u2018Weirdo in the Park\u2019, garage-blues riffs galore complete with howling vocals \u2018The Sadness of King Kong\u2019, and even psychedelic headfuckery \u2018Derek E. Fudge\u2019. As with their debut, &#8216;Bored Animal&#8217; makes room for an instrumental stripped bare with no vocals, my least favourite genre of music, but hey ho, you can&#8217;t have everything. It is vintage rock \u2018n\u2019 roll, but with edge and swagger, the album is decidedly not a retro rehash or homage to the past, but they sure respect where they&#8217;ve come from and who drove them to this point.  It&#8217;s in their DNA and hear,t and not something you could ever manufacture to this degree.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t be fooled by the 1950s spiv suits and serious faces. This pair of Herbert&#8217;s makes one hell of a roar from their instruments, warts n all, this album is fantastic. More than anything, His Lordship embraces the idea that they have to live in the here and now and not be clever because it&#8217;s only Rock n Roll baby and they have something to say.  Bored Animal delivers on every level. They know who and what they are and dish it up with volume <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/40lhLyI\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/40lhLyI\">Here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following last year\u2019s explosive, no frills self-titled debut album, in keeping with the fast-paced punk rock spirit that\u2019s His Lordship\u2019s dish up, the dynamic duo are back and have eleven sharp as a razor songs about love, life and everything in between. \u2018I Fly Planes Into Hurricanes\u2019 is a fiery single, combining hotrodding riffs with [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":26722,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[8338],"class_list":["post-26720","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-review","tag-his-lordship"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26720","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=26720"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26720\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26725,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26720\/revisions\/26725"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/26722"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=26720"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=26720"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=26720"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
