Pukeoid - s/t - 7

Labels: Not Normal
Review by: Alex Deller

The guitars on this one kick your face all over the fucking shop: bright, ringing and loud as all shit but with enough frantic scritch-scratching to keep things interesting and able to stop n’ start at a moment’s notice despite how haywire it all sounds. The vocals, though, are really kinda meh, just yargh-yargh-yarghing along in fairly rote fashion when ideally you want them to be topping it all off by barfing up something semi-catchy so’s to do the rest of what the band are doing justice. While a bit of a shame this one’s nevertheless a better-than-average 80s hc blaster thanks to the Void/Die Kreuzen tinges, but needless to say there’s still some work to be done if these four lads are gonna wipe the chunks off their chins and power on through the night rather than leave the party in disgrace before the clock’s even struck eleven.
