Children’s Children
Label: Island Release Date: 21/02/2005
With taut strumming and a throbbing bass line, Children's Children is a post-modern punk offering that seems to desperately want to have a nihilistic view.
Unfortunately, less can be said about the whimsical vocals, which vent as much enthusiasm as a deflated, battered and bruised space hopper that’s truly had the fun squeezed out of it.
With the overall message “What we tell our children’s children” hinting at some sort of re-hashed half-hearted 6th form politics, this lacks any sort of potency or social bearing on everyday life.
A best it just reeks of mediocre rock that is apathetically dull.
