THE HUNX self-titled CD review
So
I know Jay from THE HUNX because he used to put on ace gigs of
skatepunk bands in Birmingham when he was at Uni down here (I
discovered some great bands through shows he put on); it therefore
makes sense that he would play in an ace skatepunk band himself, and
here they are. THE HUNX have that sound that reminds me of stuff that
used to come out on HOUSEHOLD NAME RECORDS like HOSTAGE LIFE, crossed
with anything that comes out on FAT WRECK CHORDS, and UK skate punk
bands like NO CONTEST and fellow Scousers DOWN AND OUTS. It's pretty
much all played in double time so it has a load of energy, some
wicked guitar work, ace sing-a-longs and choruses (as well as some
funny bits of spoken word), and lyrics that range from the humorous
'Pizza Song', to the more politically driven 'House of Frauds'. If
you're after fast, melodic skatepunk done right, you can't go wrong
with this cracking five track EP, and Mark Bell illustrated the cover
so it looks as ace as it sounds.
