The answer is, YES!! And in capital letters. What the band offers on “Straight out the Alley” is more than just an album. Each song is a little masterpiece. Every track is a hit. The songs are bursting with energy, tempo, and melodies. THE GRIT have added a bit of hillbilly to the well-known ingredients. The whole thing has been transformed into a hot brew with a dose of speed. The double bass clicks and plays through the songs with joy. The vocals come across both emotionally and harshly, and always fit. The guitars carry the songs with their melody, and the drums drive the beat, which is almost always fast and exhilarating.
After the band has shot their load in punk'n'roll with the first songs, suddenly ballads and ska-infused songs as well as pop-punk pieces come out of the speakers. Does that fit? Yes, it fits, because the band knows what they can do. However, this does not create a homogeneous listening experience. This may be perceived as disturbing, but if you embrace it, it's just a sign of what the band is capable of. THE GRIT are true all-rounders with punk'n'roll roots. “Straight out the Alley” is a unique album!
