Thoughts

I hadn’t really heard of the Bosstones before, until they showed up on TOTP with the excellent song The Impression That I Get (although the studio performance wasn’t all that great). Decided it was worth a punt on the full album, and I’m glad I did. This is a fun record, a sort of unique genre of ska mixed with rock, boppy rhythms interspersed with hard vocals and rocky riffs. The Impression That I Get is a standout but the rest tries its best to live up to it, and I think this will get a good few listens in the future.

Rating: 3 / 5
