(review) Chelsea – Meanwhile Gardens

cover

Veteran UK punks Chelsea are back with a new album that is released just on band´s 45th anniversary. The album contains 13 songs mostly written in tour bus on the road in 2019 and recorded in 2020. Also, the album features guest performances from members from different periods of the band. Chelsea play punk rock with nice melodies, here I must especially mention singer Gene October who has wonderful voice. Music is mid tempo punk rock, not your fast hardcore stuff, but rather old school punk with anthemic choruses, superb lyrics which anyone can relate to, guitar work which combines punk harshness and emotions and songs The Great Divide, Shine The Light and Falling Apart are personal favorites of mine. This is punk rock with balls, street credibility and heart. Good one.
