Review – F.U.L.L. “Letterbomb”

album on Rocket through Phantom Music WA

 

“Letterbomb” is the first full-length release by Westralian rock kings F.U.L.L. Brothers Chris and Steve Gibbs team up with Nick Compton to produce a sound that has been lacking in the West for a long time, but has been coming from the Eastern cities, in a form, for just as long.

 

Twelve tracks are listed, three we already know from “$ellout” and the other nine fairly much follow the trend established thereon, but with more ‘oomph!’ than we have been led to expect from that and from “Coffee”. Influences including Crawlspace, The Mark Of Cain, Black Sabbath and Soundgarden have been added to the sonic barrage that has become a F.U.L.L. release, and we’re left wondering just why it is that Perth have kept this band to themselves! Maybe they’re afraid of losing them to us Easterners! A fair call too, and with a tour pending (at the time of writing) that could just be a risk that fair city will have to take!

 

F.U.L.L. just exceed themselves with each release, and it’s only through more exposure on national outlets that more people around the rest of the country will learn what they’ve been missing for three records now, and seek out more!
