the Perils - Good People Do Bad Things - CD (2009)

Labels: Militant Entertainment
Review by: Andy Malcolm

Was it because of sex? You leave a message on the table and a tear in your dress. OH YES YES PLEASE PLEASE MORE YOU STARE AT THE CEILING WHILST I SLEEP ON THE FLOOR.

Oh my ears. I am 40 seconds in, and really, that’s enough for me. This is risable. I am so depressed reading the promo sheet. Mick Jones reckons they’ll be bigger than the Clash. The Buzzcocks invited them on tour. The fucking Buzzcocks think this band is any good? I weep, profusely.

Ok, I persisted a little longer, but only so I can exclusively reveal that this is the latest in a long line of terrible alt rock bands, similar to tripe such as the Killers. One vocal harmony sounded like Hey Mercedes though.

We went to a downtown bar, for some atmosphere

Oh wait, here’s a dub reggae bit, no wonder that Clash dude was impressed.
