BOREDOM AD – UNSOILED ENTERTAINMENT e.p

If you prefer your punk polished, tuneful and delivered in old-school style with emphasis on melody rather than mayhem then Boredom AD are your choice of cha. Revitalised and repackaged from a stagnating Boredom (literally) that seemed intent on playing for playings sake this new outfit is the same except frontman Danny has been replaced by Bri ‘Slutcher’ Barnes (UK Subs long time bassist, Slutch frontman etc). The change in desire, delivery and determination is a real eye opener as Barnsey’s general lunacy, enthusiasm and general musical ability has dragged all members to a new level resulting in a band that want it and want it bad. With focus and a more assiduous approach to detail we have been given 6 tracks that show unlimited promise and excellent musical know how. All 6 songs are high calibre affairs with great tunes, great vocals and solid overall composition that retro rockers will adore. Personally ‘Its All About Me’, ‘Lowlife 07’, ‘Vincent Price’ and ‘I Want More’ are quality efforts in all departments and the rehash of ‘Lowlife’ encapsulates the new found spirit and style of this band perfectly. Fantastically easy listening and one hopes this lot capture the chance to achieve their potential rather than, as is too occurent on the punk scene, piss it into the wind. OMD / Fungal Punk
