It’s rarely a bad thing when the cover art on a record alone just begs you to take a spin. Of course, the London street punkers Booze & Glory never disappoint when it comes to their music, either, and this pandemic EP embraces all the hallmarks of punk rock that the band are known for.<\/p>\n
The title track leads the quick listen with gang vocals as searing guitars, thundering drums and a loud, anthemic energy will have you singing along immediately. The lyrics are clearly about the past couple of years, where band sing about bringing back the late nights of rock\u2019n\u2019roll, the camaraderie and the good times.<\/p>\n
\u201cBetrayed\u201d follows and displays razor sharp melodies and acrobatic bass lines via the swift punk rock delivery that emits a chorus you won\u2019t soon forget, while \u201cC\u2019est La Vie\u201d balances power and melody with much grit that sounds tailor made for leaping off a stage into a crowd of friendly faces. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe Streets I Call My Own\u201d finishes the listen, and it showcases the blistering chemistry of the rhythm section that won\u2019t go unnoticed, nor will the gruff but tuneful vocals and mesmerizing guitar work that\u2019s packed with sturdy riffs. <\/p>\n
I\u2019ve spent considerable time with Booze & Glory\u2019s many releases in recent years, and this is their best yet. The songs surround community, unity and fun, and the precise meshing of punk rock, rock\u2019n\u2019roll, Oi! and street punk easily puts them on a level with legends like Rancid, Social Distortion or The Business.<\/p>\n
This one\u2019s available on 12\u201d of colored wax and limited to 2000. Sure, there’s only four tracks, but I\u2019ll confidently say that they are four of the best punk tunes you\u2019ll hear all year. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":89,"featured_media":34623,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"artist":[10180],"rating":[5646],"class_list":["post-46476","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-booze-glory","rating-rating-a"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/46476","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/89"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46476"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/46476\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34623"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46476"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=46476"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=46476"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
