WOW... I did not see this one coming. Here’s an album I will treasure ‘till the day I die, that’s for sure. Usually I’m not much for Punk Rock, but this album by Vinny Stigma, the founder of Agnostic Front, called ‘New York Blood’ did hit me like a hammer.

 

As written above, we are talking Punk Rock here, or maybe we could call this release Heavy Punk Rock? The 13 excellent songs all feature catchy riffs and strongly commercial choruses that I just can’t get out of my head. But don’t get the impression that this is a sappy, girlie release, no, no, no... we are still talking both mid-tempo and up-tempo Punk Rock here, with kinda rough vocals.

 

Well... I can’t find one weak track here, and the best of the bunch could very well be; “Misery to

Mile Stone” a great up-tempo Hardcore Punk track that lead my thoughts towards the better English Punk bands. Or what about “Hole In My Heart”... a fucking catchy song, not wimpy just entertaining. Or the Country-Punk Rock song “Blurry Nights”... or the Forced Reality cover “15 Pints”... I could go on... but I don’t see the point.

 

If you’re into Punk Rock then it’s essential to your health well being that you buy this album.

 

Good buy :)
