DOWN AND OUTS
FRIDAY NIGHT, MONDAY MORNINGS
(Dead & Gone)
Second full length from these scouse melodic punk scallywags
4/5
It’s always great to hear Brit punk spat forth in its native tongue and the snotty Liverpudlian accents on this record really adds to the already tasty mix of early ’77 style punk ala Clash or Buzzcocks with the more modern ‘90s Bay Area, Lookout sound of Green Day or Rancid. The eleven tracks here are pure working class punk anthems citing the weekly timetable of humdrum work followed by weekend partying. It’s gritty yet catchy, is instantly likeable and one that the listener can really relate to. These northern lads have done good!
