Why, thank you. That's very kind of you. I will, when this has left the stereo after its gratefully brief 20 minute span. Hopelessly clueless Oi style punk with zero melodies and chanted choruses. All meant to be aggressive and demonstrate their disdain for everything, sure, but such punkier than thou attitude is kinda yawnsome (hey, I spotted at least two guitar solos, not very punk is it?). Especially when they come over as just whinging out crap cliched lyrics too. Get out the ghetto and listen to some other stuff it does you good. Oh no-one understands us and we hate everything so we have lots of songs about killing people that get in our way and have a diagram of how a bomb planted near the stage won't be activated by real fans but will kill all other "fake poseurs". So then there'd be a place full of only narrow - minded so called punks such as them. Great. That'd be even more tragic than watching scene suckers schmooze around overpriced watering holes. Oh, the tunes? It actually starts off okay with Kamikaze Attack & Thru My Eyes not too far off early New Bomb Turks, the latter reminding me of Dimestore Haloes 3-2-1 Go. Only not as good. The girl singer on Don't Talk To Me & Coming After You has one of the most hideous voices I've ever heard (and I have to put up with myself, too) and other than that it rapidly becomes a tedious racket with not much going for it. One of those types on the deathlist is "music reviewers who think The Donnas are punk". I couldn't care less whether they are or not, it's just a fucking label, not some exclusive club. Punk or not The Donnas suck and so does the Zodiac Killers football hooligan early 80's Oi shit. I coulda writ a sermon on punk being attitude an' all that and not just dull music in dire need of imagination but I really can't be arsed. I'll go find a gluehead mo in town to give this to I'm sure they'd love it. I wonder if I'll be on the next bomblist.
