We got some great review of the new album
This is the newest release from UK based band Arthritic Foot Soldiers and my first time listening to this band. I must say this is band is very cool and they play some of the best punk I have heard in years. This band has a very old school approach to their punk and follow along the same style of punk pioneers Bad Religion and punk legends The Exploited. For the most part this album kicks ass with some great songs that will get stuck in your brain. The only downside to this album is that it could of used about 3 or 4 more tracks to really complete the album but other than that there is nothing else I would change about this great punk album. Overall I would say that anyone who just wants an album they can pop in and have fun with should definitly pick up this one! I give this album a 5 out of 5!
alcohol-fueled punk rock wares are abundant on this amazing-sounding production. Recommended

Sending the EP out for review.... reviews coming in http://www.myspace.com/arfzine Wow a record, some people really know the way to our hearts! It might be time for a mixtape! A.F.S. & the Bullet Kings have sent the 'Prime Cuts EP', yet another selection of songs, this time on one 7" record! It's 33 1/3rpm so we get 3 tracks from them both (i think, although its hard to check whilst the records playing!). The second from A.F.S. spits lyrically about 'drinking in anger' and has a splendid little twiddly bit of unexpected folk (to appeal to a wider range of hardcore drinkers?!) whilst the rest of the side keeps to that raw sound we all know & love! The Bullet kings give us a slightly slower & rockier selection with vox that sound like Matt Freeman from Rancid! The riffs have an old skool quirky feel & it's well gud fun! |
