› Bullets and Octane – Song for the Underdog
Bullets and Octane where the band to come along and impress me the most last year after getting a copy of their second album In the Mouth of the Young, which was an all out assault on the senses sounding like a hybrid of Motley Crue and Motorhead. After getting that I picked up their debut The Revelry and found much of the same, and after witnessing the carnage they cause on stage I was hooked.
The long awaited new Song for the Underdog though is a slight side step though and the energy that oozed out of your speakers from their previous efforts is missing at times. While with the likes Breakout, Perfect Bitch and Song for the Underdog itself, the band appear to be carrying on where they left off with quality Punk rock n roll mayhem, but then there are one to many occasions where they relax and throw a few fillers into the mix. If this was a major label debut you could understand where they were going with perhaps outside pressure being put on them, being seeing they’ve left a major and are going it alone I was expecting to get something more akin to their incendiary live performances, but with Song for the Underdog that’s unfortunately a bit off the mark.
6/10.
Nige.
