The second LP of one of my current favorite bands - now that's a great start for a bad Monday. Forget the Observers this is Red Dons - Listen to it with fresh new ears and stop harkening back to the past. Less dramatic and herky-jerk than their last LP and more to-the-point, driving a stomping beat thats cloaked in darkness whilst soaking up danse gloom of the Pacific Northwest. Take the epic heaviness of From Ashes Rise, dilute it to a more punk rock formula, throw in the density of the Wipers and add some early - 80s LA hardcore melody, and thats the winning concoction of the Red Dons. The first LP is great, this is amazing, less complicated, more rock with a straightforward approach that doesnt come off as simple, a scandinavian feel shines through the more I listen, with a hint of early UK82 riot city type punk rock. This might be my record of the year (SD) - MAXIMUM ROCK'N'ROLL
