The vocals sound like Paul Weller (JAM), the songs are intricate and somewhat pop-punkish (but without very strong hooks), and the lyrics socially conscious. The overall effect doesn’t excite like the best French bands, but provides inoffensive listening.
Much more rockin’ than their previous releases, the BRIGADES cut loose with powerful pop-punk. Their style is a cross between mid-period CLASH and ’80s Brit-punk, while their lyrics are unabashedly political. Driving, well-recorded punk rock.
Very much in a CLASH vein without being directly imitative. They fuse early punk, pop, reggae and more into a 78 type lightweight sound. All songs in English, politically aware, comes with a free bonus single.
