Brad Pot

Rating: 7 cherry candies out of 10
It feels like all of the punk bands that have come out of Australia over the past decade or so have been custom formulated just so that I would love them - and Brad Pot continues that proud tradition. Eleven songs in twenty four minutes, this is straight-forward buzzsaw punk with heavily distorted vocals and a little bit of synth here and there. I think I might compare every punk band to something Jay Reatard was a part of, and in this case I'd go with his first outfit the Reatards. You could probably throw some Spits references in there too if you wanted. This whole album is so aggressive and immediate, it feels like Brad Pot are racing themselves to get it over with as fast as possible. No duds at all, with "100 Bills" getting my nod for top track.
