Oh, a nicely designed CD smiles at me from the package. Official cover design, I must say. The first record from the four guys and their frontwoman comes in a beautiful digipack with a thick booklet. Inside, all the lyrics are accompanied by some nice comic drawings, and at the very end, there are a few photos so you can recognize them at the concerts. It’s already off to a good start, and the music crowns it all. This is stylishly played street punk at its finest, with plenty of earworms that will slowly but surely burrow into your brain. It’s no wonder, because even though we have a debut CD in front of us, the guys and the girl have been in the business for a bit longer and have already put out some good releases with other bands. Here you get 14 tracks of top-class punk rock, mainly featuring female vocals, with the singer occasionally supported by her male colleagues. The vocals have the necessary dose of grit but also sound sugary sweet at times. Well, that’s how I like it. The album is consistently of high quality and damn, it rocks my CD player, and if we can believe their lyrics, also some cities (Rock this town). Of course, it doesn’t always go down peacefully (Out on parole), but they don’t let that get them down (Walking on). A wistful look back at the past (When we were young) and some critical reflections on their environment (for example, in Right to work, where it addresses false promises and so-called job exports) round off the album. So there’s nothing to complain about lyrically either, a lot of fun and a bit of seriousness of life without wagging a finger. In summary, it’s an above-average good CD with some earworms that hit right from the first listen and hold up on further spins. You can reach the band on their homepage. Their label is Sunny Bastards and the distribution is handled by Broken Silence. The album will be available from April 12, 2008.
