Adam Bennett - These Machines - CD (2010)

Labels: self released
Review by: Ted Reynolds

I don’t know much about this kind of thing. It’s acoustic one man ‘folk punk’. I’ve never liked this sort of music, I find the whole genre dull as fuck to be honest. There’s a kid in Exeter called Rory who goes by the name of ‘some sort of threat’ who’s pretty good I suppose. If you like him, or Billy Bragg style stuff then this will be a bingo for you. Sounds like he keeps stepping on a nail to me. Except on the 3rd song where he sounds like David Bowie (I naturally said David Bowie in a wobbly David Bowie voice as I wrote that.) Not my cup of tea, but fine for this kind of thing.
