First Time Riot

Reviewed: "Demo" CD

Good time, fist in the air, traditional punk rock!

Its been a while since we've had some 'real' punk to review around here (no, I don't consider that skateboard riding pop crap as punk), and so the FTR CD came as a welcome arrival on the Voltcase doormat.

Combining the best parts of the late 70's / early 80's punk scene with a more brutal / hardcore edge, FTR sound like the UK Subs or the Anti Nowhere League fighting it out with Black Flag or the Exploited.

And what more can I say? Catchy, raw, and rough around the edges - just pure, unadulterated PUNK. And if the four demo tracks on offer here are anything to go by, a full length album would be well worth checking out.

If you like punk the way it should be, check out FTR.
