It’s pretty impossible to do anything new with punk, it’s a matter of doing the same goddamn thing loud, pure, and energetically. That’s what The Briefs do.
68 minutes of Ted Nugent’s greatest hits live. No overdubs, plenty of Nuge swearing, a shout out to opener (?) Sammy “fucking” Hagar, as the Nuge tags him.
I’ve heard Ted Leo’s first solo record and most of Chisel’s (his former band) output, but I don’t remember any of it being as jaw-droppingly impressive as this.
The new disc from Italy’s Elisa is mostly in English, and it would be a crime if it isn’t released in the States because it’s an electronic pop masterpiece.
