Editorial Reviews

Fresh off their US tour supporting The Casualties, the band flew to Boston and recorded with Joe Gittleman (Mighty Mighty Bosstones) to record these six punk rock anthems--blistering tracks of hard-hitting punk rock and huge sing along choruses.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clash meet Tenpole Todor, October 21, 2004

Ok. I saw them (Briggs) on their Fall tour with Street Dogs and Flogging Molly. All were great. So I bought this CD. I bought it even though I am an aging punk who had to question whether or not I could still hang when the Briggs unleashed their amps on us and nearly deafened me at the show. There was something there. A sound that was tight and had enough variation in hooks that it reminded me of something familiar. Several songs reminded me of the Clash. A couple of songs reminded me of Tenpole Tudor (I told you I'm aging!). And all that aside, I took them on their own terms and came away with the feeling that these guys stand on their own and I'll definitely buy their next. But next time I see them I hope they turn the volume down to 10.

This album is in directly in line with "numbers" in sound and sentiment. I love all the Briggs albums, but this one is one of my favorites. The only down side to this album is that it only has 6 songs.

Cool, phlegmy, street punk that begs to be blasted. Awesome stuff. Check out "Dungeon Walls" and just try not to pump your fist in the air like the little girl you are.
