ENGLISH:
After suffering some line-up changes, guitar and drummer, and leaving their former record label, Bronco Bullfrog / Knockout, seems that this band fronted by Marti Neurotic starts to settle and define themselves musically
The Berlin based band in this their third Long-Length; insist on melody, on choruses and on the fabrication of extremely catchy songs and contagious. The cause of the rebel grips you practically from the first time to listen to it and it hints you to playing it a couple of times in a row because is a record full of little parts and beautiful changes of rhythm that will make hum, whistle and sing along practically one song after the other not leaving time for boredom. "Bodybags", "Untitled", "Dressed for success", are fucking hits that could play in every so called commercial radios, hey don't get confused, Marti and his gang are not getting softer, the record is punk rock with a lot of melody and with the right amount of distorted guitars, like some kind of slightly accelerated "The Clash".
With their last record, they gave us a hint on where the band's evolution was going to, In fact received critics from certain sector of the public, like: this is not punk, like blah and more blahs; stupid, Frontkick are PUNK ROCK ATTITUDE with capital letters, and the ones that don't want to see them, well… that's their own mistake, something that I got to tell you is: I liked this record so much that even if we got the promo I am going to buy the original, that's about it. As a curiosity, comment that marti is wearing an NCC (Nuevo Catecismo Catolico) t-shirt on the back cover, and that says to me a lot, what about you?

CASTELLANO:
Después de sufrir diversos cambios en la formación, guitarra y batería, y de abandonar su anterior sello, Bronco Bullfrog / Knockout, parece que la banda liderada por Marti Neurotic empieza a asentarse y a definirse musicalmente.
Los de Berlín inciden en este su tercer trabajo largo en la melodía, los coros y en fabricar canciones altamente pegadizas y contagiosas. The Cause of the Rebel engancha prácticamente desde la primera escucha y te deja entrever que es un disco que hay que ponerlo varias veces seguidas por que esta repleto de matices y preciosos cambios de ritmo que te harán tatarear, silbar y cantar prácticamente un tema tras otro sin dar tiempo al aburrimiento, "Bodybags", "Untitled", "Dressed For Sucess", son putos hits para sonar en cualquier radio de las llamadas comerciales y no pasaría nada, ojo no te confundas, Marti y los suyos no sean ablandado, solo digo que el disco suena punkrocker con mucha melodía y con las dosis de distorsión justa, como unos Clash ligeramente acelerados.
Con su anterior trabajo ya se veía venir por donde andaba evolucionando la banda, de hecho recibió criticas por cierto sector del publico, que si eso no era punk, que si patatin, que si patatan, chorradas, Frontkick son PUNK ROCK ACTITUD con mayúsculas y el que no lo quiera ver peor para el, ellos se lo pierden, una cosa te voy a decir, mira si me ha gustado el cd de marras que aunque nos lo mandaron de promo yo me lo pienso comprar original, hay queda eso. Como curiosidad, comentar que Marti aparece en la contraportada del disco con una camiseta de los NCC, a mi eso ya me dice mucho, ¿a ti no?.
