Black Friday '29 - The Pursuit Of Happiness - CD (2008)

Labels: Blacktop Records
Review by: Damien Mills

I was a big fan of BF’29’s previous lp ‘the escape’ despite the fact that even now, some years down the line I might struggle to tell or name one song from another. This is something they seem to have addressed on this new release as, whilst in the same musical ball park, a much more confident and musically defined act is emerging. Broadly speaking I can’t seem to put a finger on exactly what has changed so I’ll simply put it down to them taking the last few years to hone their chops a little (the space between the last lp and this must be longer than many hc bands entire life spans)and general age and wisdom. So a Euro-core band growing older graceully? That’s right, mother lover.
