Drunken Sailor Records (UK)
Drunken Sailor caps 2024 with this fist pumping pearler...a pint of hard-rock petrol with a few healthy shots of punk...poured into the tank, jumping at the gate and peeling out...rhythm and riff-driven anthems to blast the rust from your twice pipes and the gremlins from your grill...maybe ripping some parts from powerplants like Lynott, Lemmy, Sweet, Priest and "Running Free"-era Maiden...blasting out four cuts like laps around the dirt track...surely to get your motor running and help launch you into the new year and through the trash and crap they try to chuck in your way. -- winch (green noise)
"Oh my God that's terrible. And [Green Noise] descriptions of it are even more cringe. You can't compare this garbage to even one of those bands. Really really piss poor cliche crap that was. This is the kind of shit you're releasing when a couple of years ago I offered [Green Noise] one of the most amazing punk reissues of all time and you turned it down? Man I feel like I dodged a bullet. THANK YOU!"
Patrol skilfully combine the glam rock perfection of Sweet, the 80’s heavy metal grit of Judas Priest and the razor sharp melodies of Thin Lizzy. But fear not punks, the backbone of this record has a modern garage pace not unlike Liquids or Sick Thoughts to ensure toes are tapping across the board. Maxime Smadja (Chateau Vergogne Studio/Rixe/Boss) has undoubtedly left his mark of class on this EP, adding additional guitars and vocals as well as taking on all the engineering duties, giving these songs that familiar analog sizzle they deserve. This is the soundtrack to riding rat bikes across the Pyrenees at dawn, with a belly full of amphetamine. -- B.Suddaby.
