5.0 out of 5 stars Area 7 Rock, April 29, 2000

This is a really cool album from Alternative / Punk group 'Area 7'. "Start Making Sense", "Second Class Citizen" and "Bitter Words" are totally rocky! They are an Australian 7 piece band with: Vocals, Drums, Guitar, Bass, Trumpet, Saxophone and Keyboard. Great Punk. 'Area 7' also have some EPs such as "Bitter Words". They really are a great punk rock act.

5.0 out of 5 stars best so far, November 10, 2007

Great cd - if you like area 7 or ska in general this could become your favorite, too! Love to go running with it.

This review is from: Bitter & Twisted (Audio CD)

Area 7 have promised much with their earlier EP releases and, on Bitter & Twisted, they have delivered. Starting with their classic up-beat take on political racism, Bitter Words, they move through a variety of modes, the thunderous ska-punk attack of Second-Class Citizen, the pop-sensibility of Big Ben, the old-style jamaican ska of Blind, the rousingly anthemic Unsung Hero, the reggae-bop take on the Cure's Boys Don't Cry (which is a dead-set classic), to the chaotic exuberance of Himbo. Across this range, they are a tight unit, the horn lines are clear and brilliant and the bass production values are sensational. They avoid the messier moments of ska-core, and the worst excesses of skate-punk: at their heart is upbeat ska, for getting onto the floor and dancing. These guys are skanking live, encouraging a fantastic circle-mosh, and the crowd goes off. Get the CD. It has some sure-fire gems. And get along to see the band when they're next near you.
