So not only do I get a GREEN vinyl .... I get a fucking YELLOW one as well from The Bullet Kings, how fucking fast do these guys work?
A Side – “Long Time Dead”, oh yes, fast and nasty, but somehow very polished ?... great sing along chorus, this track doesn’t mess around, and like all good punk singles, you want to play it again as soon as it is finished (which I have a few times)
B Side – “Talk is Cheap” I do believe this is a Charlie Harper song from a VERY long time ago, after searching my vinyl, yes indeed, on greeny coloured vinyl from the early 80’s, what a strange song to cover?.... but it’s strange HOW close they are to capturing the old skool vibe of the original recording.
What’s nice is yet again The Bullet Kings have added their own twist to the old track... fuckers!!
The Bullet Kings - Brand New Disgrace / Saints and Sinners
Green Vinyl, that’s one hell of a way to please this old punker, seems The Bullet Kings have been working hard again on producing some new songs and getting them pressed up on vinyl, retro yes, but cool as fuck in my book.
A double AA this time, I have heard the odd song from these guys on the NW PUNK UK CD’s, but this stuff is a lot harder and more aggressive?.... two sides to this lot I guess
A Side- “Brand New Disgrace”, seems to be pointed at the fucked up Ms Winehouse or WHINEHOUSE , whatever the bitch is called I don’t care, I love that someone is shooting the bitch down a peg or two.
AA Side - A complete rework of a UK Subs classic track “Saints And Sinners”, it’s always thin ice for me when a band starts doing cover version, to tackle a Subs track .... well.... it’s war!.
So you will be pleased to hear that this is one hell of a version, and seems The Bullet Kings have added their own style to the track and added MORE to it. A very welcome change
So Green vinyl and 2 cracking tracks ... what more can you ask from a punk single?
