A.D. SKINNER

 



Somehow the picture of the monkey smoking the comically oversized cigarette kinda sums up the sound here - just some Aussie mutants bashing out six minutes of not giving a fuck and going hard. The title track is the closer and that guitar intro is like what one of those chef's kiss emojis would sound like if it could talk, but by the time you hear that you'll already be head bopping and bedroom moshing. "Stink" is like "Rise Above" if RADIOACTIVITY had written it (and honestly "Dogabone" seems to lift another part of "Ride Above" and if this was intentional then A.D. SKINNER are even bigger geniuses than I thought). "Beggar's Pride" is a perfectly filthy stomp...every song here makes an individual statement when you isolate them, but it's the whole damn thing that sounds like the monkey puffing on that cancer stick. Aussie punk are brilliant.
