British guitar icon Chris Spedding joins UK
punk legends The Vibrators on the band's newest studio album that reunites the original line-up of Knox on vocals and
guitar, John Ellis on guitar, Pat Collier on bass and Eddie on drums! Spedding first recorded with The Vibrators on
the 1976 single "Pogo Dancing!” “This collaboration delivers thirteen detailed classic
punk rock songs, performed in a characteristic manner, which unquestionably
defines a band such as The Vibrators.
The material showcases a variety of other genres along the way. You’ll
notice a strong presence of pub rock, hard rock, rock’n’roll, rockabilly, blues,
country, incorporated in a unique manner. The group paid a lot of attention to
the details, and the crossovers into other genres are not spoiling the initial
sound of the group. The special bond between Spedding and The Vibrators is
undoubtably unique, and their friendship articulates through this comprehensive
collection of classic punk rock songs. The
outstanding production boosts these tunes to an entirely new level. It’s nearly impossible to miss powerful chord
progressions, engaging riffs, and predominant solos during the whole album.” –
ThoughtsWordsAction.com “Ably assisted
by Chris Spedding, the band have produced a great album. I haven’t followed their progress since Knox
originally left and was a fan of his albums as Fallen Angels. The title track
could indeed sit nicely on a Fallen Angels LP, with the familiar drawl in place
over three chords and Spedding’s lead work. ‘Garbage Can’ is a close
cousin of ‘Amphetamine Blue’. The
countrified riff on ‘Turn The Pages’ could be Neil Young, not a bad thing at
all. John Ellis wrote ‘Big Black Sea’, which is in a similar vein, ‘Platinum
Dress’, with some nice slide work, and ‘Passing Of Days’ which is more
brooding, in the style of ‘Working Class Hero’.
For me it’s Knox’s voice that holds it together as a band. Whether on
the heady four chords of ‘Woman 3.2’ or the tender ‘Love Me Forever’, it sounds
like classic Vibrators. ‘Made In Heaven’
is slushy but lovely, with a great solo.
‘Paper Tiger’ and the riffmungous ‘This Is The Way’ are a fine way to
bring it to an end. Who’d have thought it?” – RPMOnline.com EXCELLENT!!
