Old skoolers Blitzkrieg and Paradox UK are back with a new album full of all kinds of great UK-style punk rock. I mean this shit just mashes your head against the curb until you cry for your mom....you little baby! Between the two bands you get seventeen tracks of the kind of hardcore punk you've been having wet dreams about...pub-styled hardcore punk with an edge sharper than a snake's bite. This is the real deal punk rock music that post-1985 births don't know about and have left behind for that insepid pop rock bullshit. Between the two bands, its hard to pick a favorite due to the intensity both bands kick out in a fevered pitch that, in all seriousness, makes me drive my car like a fucking maniac when the disc is in the CD player. Kicking out punk the way it should be is the mantra found on this disc, and the intensity of each track just gets heavier and heavier as it progresses. Blitzkreig was formed in 1979. Paradox UK in 1989. Both have been through several lineup changes, in fact more than I care to read about, but one thing has remained unchanged... Their uncanny gift of delivering the best UK82 punk music heard in years. This is a great disc addition for those of you looking to recapture the old skool sound without having to wade through all of today's wannabe's! **Added bonus on this disc, includes two videos and interviews with Spike lead man and founder of both bands.** -MG |
