Les Flames!
Mutley 1, From Essex

Boy this is loud!

We're only twenty seconds in and already les Flames! are inciting aural anarchy - "We got the rock, we got the roll, we got the sound to get you excited!" and then...whoosh!!! High speed chainsaw buzz guitars and high pitched throat crunching screams combine to produce the most insatiable piece of heavy mental punk rock you'll hear all year.

Now if only all artists masquerading under the banner of 'punk' did it with the same urgency and demonic elegance as les Flames! we wouldn't have to spend every other Sunday afternoon digging out dad's old Clash records.

It's refreshing to know that all those times our heroes of yesteryear got covered in beer and spittle weren't in vain after all.
