Day 0404 - Crossing the Red Sea with the Adverts

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.
