In the ideal Punk
venue – a room over a pub, full of people there for the music, came
THE PAIN from Wales and 4 PAST MIDNIGHT from Scotland.
The
Pain opened
the attack smashing into the crowd to with a barbed wire topped wall
of noise, if you were there you had to get to your feet and stay
there.
The band kept the
frenzy from start to finish, with clever, original songs performed
like the stage was on fire
I haven’t been able
to stop playing their CD “Arab on the Hill” since, run don’t
walk and get a copy now.
4 Past Midnight,
if I was on my feet for The Pain, these three fuckers from Glasgow
lifted then off the floor. If you’d never seen a 44-year old man
pogo – it was me. Start to finish, song after song they remind you
why you love punk, nothing stopped them, and I didn’t want them to
stop. Get the Album now and you’ll never look at Jamie Lee Curtis
the same way again.
