Album Review
Chris Pope has been around the block a few times, having first surfaced as the guitarist with late 70s Mod-punk band The Chords (think The Ordinary Boys but a hundred times better). Back from a stint in the US, and back with Chords' drummer Buddy Ascott, this is Pope's debut, and glams up that mod sound with a more anthemic, still angry, sound that the Who would be proud of. In fact, focusing on the fact that Chris Pope has been around a bit is entirely inappropriate - the album could easily be a new glam-rock-mod-punk band on track to be the next NME-Brits-Take-On-The-World cover story. The guitars and drums spit as hard as you would want, the tunes are original and fiery, the vocals like a new Jagger. All in all, rather excellent, as if Feeder had sharpened up their edge with a knife steel.
3.5/5
