Snuff are back with a new full length album and new material that has been two years in the making. I must admit that I sometimes had hot/cold relationship with this band through my history back in the days, sometimes liking their records, sometimes less liking, but this one is a keeper. Vocalist/drummer Duncan Redmonds sounds angry when the song needs it, also melodic and emotional at other times, but his voice is a unique sound that can be recognized every time without mistake. On this album Snuff mix their vision of melodic punk but also mod, some garage rock influences, also blues at times, like in cover song by Curtis Mayfield Hard Times with all organ and trombone what makes this bands stand apart and so unique from other bands in the scene. My personal favorites are Looks Alright From Here, being faster, more straightforward angry punk song, One Of Those Days which is my top song from the record with haunting melody and infectious vocal lines. There are also some metal influences in guitar work of instrumental Barba Gelata, somehow harshest sounding song on the record although there are no vocals on that one. Green Glass Chippings is also safe to mention as a highlight of this great record. But, you have to listen for yourselves and create an opinion. This is only mine. I love this one.
