Actually, the third album by dragSTER from Coventry (in the West Midlands of England) just barely misses the highest rating. I don't have a booklet or any lyrics available, which usually results in point deductions. To know what singer Fi has to report in the 13 songs, I need the lyrics to translate it. Even though the punk rock 'n' roll sound blasts clean and clear from the speakers, I just can't do without something written :-( my English is just poor :-(
Otherwise, there’s nothing to complain about 12 times, the sound is very good as mentioned, the bass lines from Tom AK really get my circulation going, and in every second song (at least it feels that way), you get hit with awesome short and punchy guitar solos from Ben Kelly, while Diesel provides the fat punk rock sound with the second guitar. We still need Ryan Murrphy (with double "r") behind the drums to complete the quintet, which has been around for almost 10 years now. If the names sound familiar, one or the other has played or still plays with big names like UK SUBS, VICE SQUAD, PIGFACE, and TEXAS TERRI BOMB (the latter I don't know, though). So, the CD represents many years of sweat in the name of punk rock ;-) !
12 of the 14 tracks are therefore recommended, the intro as the first track, well...
There's still one song missing, the first on the album: "Gatecrasher Hostage". In my opinion, the weakest song from "Dead Punk" and you don't start an album with such a song! The vocals are a bit boring, Fi can do much better (she proves it on the other 12 songs), and while the melody is nice, dragSTER can do it much better. However, if you disregard the 3 minutes, the other 36 minutes hit you really hard in the face :-)
