Upside Down Room - Self Titled EP (TN1040)

The debut of these three old punkrockers was one of the old albums I didn�t have in my collection, so I decided to buy it. The 7 songs on this EP have been recorded in august of 1995, but they could have been recorded in 1985 as well... I mean: this album almost sounds antique! 80�s punkrock as you find it on those 80�s punkrock-compilations. So, to call this �the newest advancements in recorded music�, as stated on the cover, might be a bit exaggerated. All you hear is: Rock �n� roll, the 50�s, combined with nasal voice of Bruce Lund, who could have been part of the Ramones or The Sex Pistols, back in the 80�s.

So, now you know what this band sounds like! The next question is: how good is this album? All I can say is: very good !! These guys really know how to play their instruments. It might not be difficult to play, but especially the guitar-parts are not bad at all. Overall, I like this album, but the punkrock of the 90�s like MxPx, Ghoti Hook, Greenday and NoFx is more my style, I guess... I give it 7,2 points out of 10.

Check out their new album, available through T&N Mailorder !! For fans of old, snotty punk�n�roll at it�s worst!

By the way: check out the song �You Are A Liar�, it�s a cool song!
