Under The Knife (released 2006)
Self Produced
New England's three, now four, piece band The Spoilers offer up a female fronted, bass heavy punk rock that borders on pop and rock. I think I get away with the pop bit, beacuse of the female vocals and catchy lyrics. I guess the female voice is more prone to feel happy and poppy as opposed to the male voice. In any case, there are moments of that pop rock sound followed up quickly by great punk rock. Easily notable is the track titled "Oi Song", nothing but pure punk rock energy and a bunch of crowd chanted oi's! Fantastic. Most if the tracks on the disc are about two minutes in length, the perfect length for a punk rock dirge, so you know the band is delivering and offering it up quick and dirty. I think the best part about this album, is that there are twelve tracks on here. Why would I be excited by that? Well, lemme tell ya... It seems that many bands only give you a taste of what they can craft, The Spoilers ont he other hand, lay it all out in front of you to enjoy. You have to respect a badn that gives you everything, speedy rock, catchy lyrics, female vocals, twelve tracks and a smile on your face when the CD ends. I think what The Spoilers have put together here is something to behold and I look forward to their next effort. I can only imagine that it wuill be just as fast and furious as this album and will contain the same catchy lyrics that "Under The Knife" offers. -MG |
