BURNT CROSS
CARCASS OF HUMANITY
(Pumpkin)
Modern UK anarcho duo.
3/5
Comprising solely of brothers Paul and Rob Marriott, and, Burnt Cross, who formed last year in Brighton, now take up the mantle of old-fashioned anarcho punk, all recorded on an 8-track desk in Rob's bedroom. Full marks for determination and ingenuity, then, with integrity taken as read (even the worst anarcho types meant well), but how do the boys shape up musically? Well, with their self-imposed restrictions of genre, personnel and recording facilities, the lads have done well, displaying decent songwriting and undoubted commitment that would have easily ranked alongside the likes of Crass et al back in the day.
