Make It Count (released 2005)
Self Produced
Classic punk rock right here. Can't get much better than this. Street punk rock with the British snarl and attitude. Hotwired delivers a nine track stunner here, guaranteed to get the crustiest punks to sit up and shout out right along with the band. With tracks discussing drugs, Friday nights, police, punk rock and just plain idiots, I think that Hotwird cover just about everything important to punk rockers today. Well, everything except politics I suppose. But who needs that when you can get the real deal pub rock n roll delivered by a great group of performers. This is probably one of the better independent punk rock releases I've heard in some time. I love the DIY nature of it too. This album is a little dated, as the band recorded and produced this about two years ago. With any luck, we'll get a new album soon. In the meantime, this album's nine tracks have got some great standouts... The first track, "Domestos And Drugs", it's all of two minutes long, but it stomps and tears right on through and is a great driving fast song. I have no idea what the hell Domestos means, but it sure is fun shouting it out at 100 miles an hour! Another fast rocking trak, that is full of some killer guitar work is "Mr. Know It All". Featuring the guitar work I mentioned, but also some fast paced drummin' and a great sing along chorus, the track is just a blast to rock out to. That's it... Hotwired are offering up a fast paced punk rock album, that is delivered in classic punk rock fashion. For fans of fast driving and sing along street punk rock, find yourself some Hotwired and be happy! -MG |
