This Is Brain Wash - This Is Brain Wash - CD (2013)

Labels: self released
Review by: Oli Saunders

This is pretty long for a punk album of this nature, totalling 44 minutes (edit: okay, it’s a discography). Fast paced, with solid riffs, and the vocalist does a neat Jello Biafra impression. Having said that, the singing changes its sound on track 3 onwards. The band take influences from a variety of punk bands like Rancid, and songs vary quite a bit in style. Reading up, it turns out the songs have been recorded over a four year period with 4 different singers. This explains the variance. It would have been good to see some words about the band’s history given that they have been located in so many places (in Spain and England). Otherwise, this is solid but unspectacular punk rock.
