Reviews & Opinions

PUNKY GIBBON: Harper and Knox pay tribute to each other – as well as The Stooges and Dolls on this excellent piece of self-indulgence, with Harper taking lead vocals on all tracks apart from ‘New Baptism’, which Knox sings. There's a brace of entirely new songs, and most of 'em good, including two first-rate rockers ('Limo Life', 'New Barbarians'), a political power ballad ('War Babies') and three Vibrators oldies ('Dragnet', 'I Need A Slave', 'Sex Kick').
