UNADORNED

Reviewed By Rotten

Denver, Colorado's premier punk band are PRIMASONIC, and they are currently kicking up a storm with their new album, titled UNADORNED. One listen to these boys reminds you of those halcyon days when Punk was Punk, and not watered down Green Day nonsense.

Formed in 2006, these noisy buggers turn it up loud. Vocalist SIN manages to make every word sound like his last, pure spite and venom....you can believe what he's shouting about is true because he believes it is and makes it known through his emotions.

The Musical unit consists of Guitarist KURT, who has a sound reminiscent of true old school punk, Drummer ZAC keeps a steady, tight, but powerful Beat, and Bassist CLYDE lays it down....these guys sounds like a tight force, and any self respecting punk rocker should check out the UNADORNED album.

The band were kind enough to share a sneak preview of the album with me, so here's what to expect.

ESCAPE FROM THE SUBURBS:

What an opening track, this reminds me so much of English punks 999, some quality guitar licks, very powerful and very 1977, although the intro reminds me of Chaotic Dischord in their prime. a hint of EDDIE AND THE HOT RODS, it makes a big change to hear a punk band that sound like a 1977 UK band instead of a sub genre like thrash punk. Anthemic choruses aplenty here, You'll be singing this all day after hearing it.

REPOSSESION:

A tempo change here, gutsy, lots of tom beats, i cant get over how much Vocalist Sin sounds like 999's Nick Cash, yet again it's catchy as hell, heavy as a kick in the balls.

MIND RAPE:

HEY HEY pre-choruses signal another power anthem, "YOUR MIND'S A WEAPON" shout the boys, and another great guitar solo, laid back yet soaring.

BITCH:

we all know girls like this, this sounds like a punk song, but strangely has a kind of sixties groove until the tribal drums and Dead Kennedys guitar style breaks in and then kicks back to that groove.

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE RAIN:

This CCR cover, already punked up by The Ramones, appears as a hidden track on the CD, now......i LOVE punked up covers of classics, and these boys have created their own take on the song, it's great, and should be played to death!

All in all, the UNADORNED album should be bought, unwrapped and played extremely loudly. These guys have the songs and the sound, and deserve to get lots of recognition for this. Keep it up, Lads!
