Reviews & Opinions

PUNKY GIBBON: More of the same ho-hum anarcho ravings, except they are now introducing heavy metal/thrash into the equation. 'Leather, Bristles, Studs, Acne & Ignorance' is the most notable track; an attack on GBH and their fans, it led to much "discussion" in Bradford.

TIM YOHANNAN, MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL #39, AUGUST 1986: Throbbing, pounding mid-tempo guitar-driven anarcho-punk that occasionally lunges into furth gear, or goes into metal second. Five long songs, lots of power as well as repetition. Good lyrics, as always.
