FUNGALPUNK - CD REVIEWS
DANGERS CLOSE - CLOSER THAN YOU THINK
One of the best CD's of the year! Well why not? A bold opening statement but well and truly deserved as this is a real choice offering of the highest order. In all the CD's I review its hard to find many seriously bad ones thus proving the punk scene is thriving as far as talent goes and the competition is stiffer than a bishops dick dipped in Endros (readers of 70's porn will know the score). Anyway here we have a real prize boner and it really does give ones lugholes a shafting. The impact of the opening track, namely 'Burn' is immense and reflects a real cut and thrust drive that is rammed to the rafters with unwavering exuberance and fantastic punk stamina. Truly one of the best opening tracks I've heard for a long time and a rival to the other CD high of this year, namely Riot Squads offering of unleashed angst. 'Daily Grind' follows next and again the quality is supreme and it is already glaringly evident that we are dealing with a quite exceptional band here and one that must really do some serious damage to the scene in general and wake up a few idlers to the fact that the new bands are indeed in general classy, hungry and very fuckin' talented. Track after track exudes a solid ambience and awe inspiring racket rarely heard for such long periods and with a screaming banshee at the helm the potential knows no bounds. In fact let me once again be a trifle bold and say that surely we have one of the best punk female vocalists of all time here as far as this recorded evidence goes. That's how impressed I am! Imagine Poly Styrene, Pauline Murray and Liz Rose all combined but left to rampage in a raw and ready frenzy and there you have the essence of what is vomited forth here. Astounding! Back to the CD and what can I say – quality. 'Push' is the catchy one and the other really outstanding gem is 'Christina' which is structured and delivered quite beautifully with vitality and emotion in equal, impressive measure. I love it, I love it, love it and moments like this really back up my argument that an abundance of bands who are tagged the new brigade and are thus overlooked would piss all over the old favourites if time would have been a tad more generous. But never mind – this CD is here and now and for me its fuel to the flames of punks future. Let the asses of the apathetic burn long and hard and if you miss this then go jump on the fire too – because in truth punk don't need you! Currently looking to book more shows!!
