Eleven generous helpings from The United Kingdom’s underground music scene, The Bolsheviks. The album kicks off with, “Wild West”. A fast punk rockabilly style that seems to poke fun at the west and east ongoing conflict, with enough hooks to catch a great white! Track 4, “Plastic Fantastic” was written (oddly enough) about credit cards. Did this band know something before us? Track 9 is a personal favorite of mine. “Take me To The River”, this track gives us an insight to where the band maybe heading with the use of synths in a very small dosage. The last track, “The Need” is more metal, than punk, think Rage Against The Machine and you will get the picture.
All in all this is a very good album and it escapes me, as to why this band are not often heard of? Perhaps that is the way they like it?
10/10
