KNUCKLEDUST
Promises Comfort Fools
GSR (CD)

I have never been a huge fan of the bands on the GSR roster. Occasionally they have released records that have appealed to me but for the most part I have been fairly uninterested. KNUCKLEDUST have been at it for a while now and I have to admit they are good at what they do, sounding like they’re just emerged from the mean streets of London on to the stage. There is definetly charm in their music and even though I have yet to see them on stage I can imagine that it’s a rather entertaining experience. Compared to earlier stuff there is still a strong NYHC influence but (think MADBALL) but they have developed a sound of their own, with songs that will appeal to both hardcore kids and metal heads.

This is my favourite release of the batch that GSR sent me a while ago, even though I have problems getting into the lyrics. A record not for the weak.
