Dearie me, this isn’t good. It just isn’t good at all. Anyone else remember the ‘secret’ track on the end of that first Boy Sets Fire album where their pal helped them through a Mötley Crüe cover? Well, whereas there you could at least hear them guffawing and having a laff about it all as they took a well-deserved break from smashing global capitalism / playing gigs with Hatebreed, this lot sound extremely similar and actually seem to be taking themselves pretty darn seriously. The name of the game is big, crunchy rock music with warbly vocals wailing their way over the top and, frankly, it beggars belief that this should even exist at all. Seriously. It just boggles my brain to hear even one side of this thing spinning giddily away on my turntable, sounding like some bad 90s chugcore act (Ashes?) gone cock rock. Why is it here? What is its purpose? Whatever were these silly people thinking? None of it makes any sense, and I’m none too sure I actually want to hear the answers to any of these imponderable questions.
