SCANNER ZINE (NEW ZEALAND)
A big pot of rock more like!! This quartet from Manchester, UK certainly crank out the riffs - and they nail ‘em! There’s 12 songs here that mix an AC/DC balls-out rock blast played with the speedball-laced ferocity of early ZEKE and a UK Punk Rock accessibility that mirrors both VANILLA POD and CONSUMED. Best moments include the riff-riddled raucousness of ‘The Sleep Awake’, the super-catchy rocking coolness of ‘Vaulted Sky’, the SUPERSUCKERS belch of ‘Calling Out The Elders’ and the brisk burst of ‘Folie a Deux’. Production is bold with everything seemingly overdriven but not at the expense of any one instrument. If there is a fault, it’s that sometimes there is just one riff too many; a bit more conciseness may work wonders. It’s my guess that live, with a few beers in the belly, these fellas blaze big time. Definitely one for those who like a good helping of Rock in their Punk Rock.
