Review – Ancient Marinators
“Mullet”
EP on Full Mullet Records
through Phantom Direct
The Ancient Marinators (cute!)
are four guys between 29 and 40 who make music that kids 10+ years younger than
any of them are playing in the hip, cool and supportive venues for alternative
music today. Their age is hidden behind the music but blatant as well,
combining Custard
and ‘westie rock’ with a Newtown jingle and today’s Brit crop.
“Mullet” is a good debut. The highlights include
their very-90s interpretation the Goldman/Stewart
‘classic’ I’m Not In Love despite the intensity-loss by doing the
cut-down 2WS version rather than the full
album-version. And then there’s the closer Daddy’s a Spider with the
full-on Saints (with Chris and Ed)
thrash punk hook and attitude but today’s punk length.
