5.0 out of 5 stars Great Album Coming Out Of NOHO, January 11, 2000

Those crazy lads from Northampton, MA are at it again with their official worldwide release Night On The Tiles. The Big Bad Bollocks broke out on the now defunct Jamadisc label, with its first LP Hanged At Gibbet Rock, interjecting a Celtic Rock sound to an audience hackneyed by grunge and pop rock. This release was a local success as well as a stepping stone for the bands first major tour; however, the album underwent several complication due to its atrocious remastering and legal issues. The group's follow-up EP Where The Beef Meets The Sea, was a minor achievement but presented the band at its experimental stage, utilizing a scattershot approach ranging from punkrock to hip-hop. Consequently, the band ventured to a different avenue (as well as kicking out a few bandmates) for its 3rd release on the punk label Monolith. Indeed, they've come a long way. The Album opens with appellation jingle, thus segueing to the band (should-be hit) single Tidza, which is a nickname for Tideswell. Johnny Alien, the group's Guinness crazed frontman, simulates a howling banshee in the hooky roundelay English Village. Lead guitarist, Peno, muffles three chords and an attitude on Motorcycle Jacket (one of my favorite song on the album) that subsequently trails off with a female doowop. The LP gets pretty interesting after DrinkUp Yabastards, a song that speaks for itself. Tracks like Thirteen Pints, Aunty Mary, and Uncle Ted have a more progressive feel as well as exhibiting a perfected song structure ----musically and lyrically. I understand that Mr. Alien has blueprinted a poetic ambiance for his recent gigs, and I do hope he'll pursue this method for the next Bollocks LP; or a Johnny Alien solo project.
