Ham Report post Posted September 28, 2020 10 hours ago, LeBoeufsGolfBall said: New Idles album 'Ultra Mono' released last week. For anyone frustrated with the world we live in, its a perfect injection of positive aggression that is much needed in these current times. Will it is for me anyway! Only gave it the one listen so far, seems more of a grower than their first two albums which is no bad thing. THANK YOU for this recommendation. Listened to them for the first time today and I'm sold. Just awesome. Why haven't I listened to them until now? Like Ian Dury on steroids but so melodic. I play drums in my spare time and I've now discovered a new go-to drumalong to join Royal Blood. 👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Give them a go, it may bring back some good memories! Listened to War which I guess is the new single, liked it, reminded me of a manic version of Clutch (don't know if you know them?)

They are ferocious live too. 14 hours ago, Mark Kelly said: Listened to War which I guess is the new single, liked it, reminded me of a manic version of Clutch (don't know if you know them?) Yeah I can see the Clutch comparison. A very british zeitgeist version of Clutch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Loving them so far just based on the new album. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ham Report post Posted August 24 Brian Travers, sax player for UB40 yesterday. Their first two albums, Signing off and Present Arms are both still in my top ten of all time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruudboy Report post Posted August 24 Present arms was great. Still in my vinyl stack. Always loved Rat in the Kitchen - ever since Mrs Ruud called me at work to ask me to come home quick … [her] “there’s a rat in my kitchen, what am I gonna do?” [me] “I’m gonna fix dat rat, that’s what I’m gonna do” [she] hangs up.
