Review by: Kunal Nandi
The best new band in the UK are already on their third release. Their self-described recipe for success takes a sprinkling of sixties garage, a snifter of seventies punk, a dash of eighties hardcore and then lets rip in the noughties. Presumably nothing good happened in the nineties. Formed from the smoking remnants of slap-happy thrashers Crash The Pose and fiercely chaotic hardcore punkers Farewell To Arms, The Limits are on a much catchier, melodic tip, though the energy levels certainly haven’t dipped. It’s nothing you ain’t heard before, but it’s done very well indeed. Try and grab the other two seven-inches (“Limits Appear” on Keep Screaming Records and “Yesterday’s Heroes” on their own label) while you can – it all sounds the same, i.e. great! As much fun as you can have on your own in five minutes (arguably).
