The Violent Isles Gang of Del Ray LP

Odd one, this. Listening to it after reading their influences (SHAM 69, the BUSINESS, the TEMPLARS, etc.), I had to ponder what exactly was it they took from these? Was it to make plodding, mid-tempo post-punk with vocals that sound like they were recorded next door? I suppose, if I am going to be charitable, I can sense some guitar tones that are not un-TEMPLARS-esque, but that would truly be taking a bit of a leap. Not sure who this is for, really.
