This time
it's the turn of Buzzbomb to blow the cobwebs away, and it's
something that they do with relative ease on 'Secondary Objectives'.
It's
pretty much a pedal to the metal release. A Mach-II assault on the
senses that manages to keep a firm grip on the melody.
It's that
grip that elevates it above the vast majority of self professed punk
bands who seem to consider that shouting loud in an aggressive macho
manner is all that's required.
It's not.
In fact
it's a boring dead end of creativity that those who pander to it are
stuck in.
Some
would argue that I'm wrong, but I care not a jot.
One
dimensional punk rock bores the tits off most people, and thankfully
this is the polar opposite of that.
This is
fast and aggressive, but at the same time full of rollicking good
fun.
Take the
US bands of the eighties who were the bastard offspring on The
Ramones and filter them through the history of the UK punk scene and
the end result is Buzzbomb.
Pretty
much the perfect balance between the two sounds.
A
transatlantic behemoth of impressive stature that given the audience
should impress on both sides of the ocean and everywhere else for
that.
Full
kudos goes to the guys in the band for breathing some fetid breath
into the classic Sonic Reducer as well.
ACE!!!! XXX
