Customer Review: Blackout! done better.
I initially heard this album through doing Music Staff for my campus radio station. At that time, what I heard was Mike McColgan attempting to relive his glory days in DKM. Eight months later, however, it's quite apparent to me that while this doesn't quite stand up to DKM's Do Or Die, it does stand out in its own right. This is punk not so much for fans of DKM, but for the Ducky Boys. Somehow, though it manages to successfully combine the sound of DKM's Blackout! and the Ducky Boys' No Getting Out. Not quite Oi!, but nevertheless a good slice of PFR.
Customer Review: accessable fluid street rock n roll
Mike-the vocalist for these guys made his name with early Dropkick Murphys stuff. Don't buy this expecting a patently Irish-American sound. It is more straight-up than the Murphys and still damn good. Following up on their first albumn, Savin' Hill, these songs take you through the lives of Bostonians and frames them in the context of todays politics and pressure. Nothing tricky or loaded though-the songs are honest, up front and articulate punk ballads.
