Yeah, now, this is the stuff of legends. Short sharp punchy ass punk songs. No holds barred in your face whether you like it or not angsty music.

I feckin love it. At some points this record does sound cliched but then doesn’t everything at some point or another??

I have never heard these guys before but from reading their press release it seems previous albums contained songs that lasted no longer than a minute each and. although most songs on this release are longer that, that ethos is still definitely present with not a huge amount of repetition in either verse or chorus style. In my mind that is not too bad a thing. I would not want to listen to three hours of it unless I had ADHD, but still for certain occasions (fights, driving fast, dirty sex….) it does the trick like a shot of adrenalin straight to the heart.

On the down side I started realising I had no idea when one song ended and one began. If I lived with the album every day for a considerable length of time and chose to listen to this kind of aggro-punk as part of my daily routine then obviously that might be very different.

There are probabaly literally a thousand other bands that do this but none do it much better than Paint It Black . I am just about wetting myelf about going to see them on June 24th at the Underworld in London. Come along, I guarantee you that it will be fun.

Short sharp punchy punk on the Jade Tree label on second album from Paint It Black, which proves to be "like a shot of adrenalin straight to the heart"

Paint It Black:Underworld, London, 24/6/2005
Paint it Black recently completed a European tour. At the London Underworld Philip Vincent sees them take "the over-used Black Flag style of aggro punk" and rejuvenate it "with an armful of adrenalin directed straight to the frontal lobes"
