Details:
PROUDFLESH - Proudflesh (Wired Gnome Records) - Now take this the right way because it is meant as a big big compliment: this is what Motorhead would have sounded like back in the classic Fast Eddie days of 79 if they''d been from Oakland California rather than the filthy streets of West London. This is goooooooooooood.
Yes indeed, Proudflesh have that righteous Overkill period sound flowing naturally through their dirty punk rock veins - that hard-edged blues mixed right in there with that take no shit, we don''t care what you think, streetwise suss.
This is very much an American album/sound though and Proudflesh are no mere Motorclone wannabes re-hashing refried moments of past motorglory.
Indeed Proudflesh have a rich history of their own - "From Reagan''s near apocalyptic vision to Bush''s war on terrorism..."
A three piece who feature one time CRUCIFIX man SOTHIRA on bass/vocals, ERIK LANNON on drums (MORDRED amongst others) and last but by no means least, JIMMY CRUCIFIX himself on mean low slung Guitar (he''s as good as anyone out there and yes there are hints of Y&T alongside those classic Fast Eddie licks).
They sing of epic battles against colonialism, of the arrogance and stupidity (and not the glorification) of war, ambitious street songs with big things to say. Hey look, what more do you need to know?
Oakland made and Motorhead flavoured - righteous punk rock ''n roll for scumbags, filth hounds and mohawks everywhere - a highly recommended ten track beast (and on their own D.I.Y label, doing things the right was as well).
This is the good shit, one of the best albums of the year so far and nailed down in terms of wholesome raw production as well.
Go grab a slice, go warn your next door neighbour (if this album moves in then their lawn is going to die). You all need some Proudflesh -
this review has now almost come to an end. https://www.tradebit.com is where you get to hear some for yourselves, percussive violence and a sky full of bombs, only way to feel the noise is when it''s good and loud - Rockers, punks hellraisers, call them Proudflesh rock n'' roll.
