The Adverts "Crossing the Red Sea with the Adverts" (1978)
Hmm at first I was thinking this just sounded like another 'same ol-same
ol' punk album. Maybe it is, but turns out that doesn't stop it from being a good punk album. It feels quite 'purist' punk too, fast and furious with plenty of attitude but
not a whole lot of musicianship. Somehow though there is
enough variety and strong songwriting to carry you through the album.
Musically it's not a million miles from early Arctic Monkeys, further
reinforcing (in my mind at least) the musical links between the late 70s
and the early 00s.
