THE DESTRUCTORS – “Politika” CDThis
came out around the time of the British elections that ended up with a joint
government a few months back but due to a mix of backlog, looking for work, and
dealing with some personal issues, I wasn’t able to get to – only to put it
here just as we’re undergoing another midterm election cycle. On their latest (second non split release) since reverting
back to their original name, the Destructors tear into a loud and fast batch of
HC punk anthems based around the theme of politics with songs about elections,
the EU, revolution, the UK political system and the like. Dished out with snide
vocals and more hooks
than the meat locker in the average mob film, these guys take a somewhat
cynical view of the process, noticing how revolutions tend to fall down to luck
and stating disillusionment with electoral politics. Add covers of songs by Aggressive
Behaviour
Disorder, Alice Cooper, and the Now on the topic and you have an idea what’s going
down here. They might not have all the
answers but the music is in your face with enough energy to power a small town
and enough edge that punks will love this.
I wonder how they would react to the American political process with far
fewer choices and way hella longer campaign seasons. (BOONE)
