Harrington Saints - Pride & Tradition Digipack CD
[4S1129]

Nové album stálice americké streetpunk scény, které jste m?li moľnost nedávno vid?t i na pár koncertech v ?R v rámci jejich evropského turné. Nutno ?íci, ľe já kapelu znal jen podle názvu a jediné, co jsem o nich v?d?l byl fakt, ľe to jsou zarytý West Hamáci (podle songu, který mají na split EP s Booze and Glory ? Claret and Blue). Harrington Saints je p?ti?lenná kapela a její ?lenové nejsou zrovna nejmladąí a ani nejhuben?jąí. Na CD (pop?ípad? LP), které je ud?láno jako moc p?kný digipack najdete celkem 11 song? melodického amerického punk rocku, který se Vám rozhodn? bude líbit, n?kdy to zní dokonce jako US Bombs (t?eba druhej song Revolution), ale jsou zde i tvrdąí kousky (jako t?eba OCD nebo Thieves, Liars and Cheats). Songy vypovídají o zábav?, kterou si chce kapela uľívat p?i hraní (The Kids Want More), o lidech, kte?í pov?sili skínování na h?ebík a zapadli do rutiny vąedních dn? (Jerry was a Skin), zlo?iny politik?, kte?í nepokryt? prodávají svoje zlo?iny v mediích, aniľ by hnuli brvou (Crime Pays a Thieves, Liars and Cheats), nasranost na celý systém, který p?etrvá od pubertálních let aľ do dosp?losti, kdy zjistíte, kolik dáte státu na daních, atd (Slogans on the Wall) atd?, takľe z toho se dá usoudit, ľe se jedná celkem o klasická sociální témata. Nejvíce se mi asi líbí song Bread and Roses, coľ je parádní haleka?ka s drhnutou kytarou na za?átku, coľ mám moc rád. Album se poslouchá samo a já nemám moc v?cí, co bych mu vytknul, akorát snad kratąí hrací ?as. V digipacku je rozkládací booklet s texty a koláľí fotek. Pokud máte rádi americké kapely, které jsou více do punk rocku, tak z Harrington Saints nebudete ur?it? zklamáni.


New album comes from well known band of US streetpunk scene which you may see in last time on two gigs in Czech Republic during their European tour. I have to say that I know the band just by the name and only one think I know about them is that they are Wes Ham supporters (because of their song on split EP with Booze and Glory - Claret and Blue). Harrington Saints has five pieces line-up and members aren´t youngest and even thinnest. On CD )or LP) which is packed like nice digipack you will find circa 11 songs of melodic American punk rock which you will surely like and some songs sounds even like US Bombs (like the second one called Revolution), but there are also harder stongs (like OCD or Thieves, Liars and Cheats). Songs are about having fun with the band on live gigs (The Kids Want More), about those who hang up their boots and fell into routine of normal life (Jerry was a Skin), crimes of politicians which are openly sold in media (Crime Pays and Thieves, Liars and Cheats), anger to the system which growms in you from teen age to the adult time when you realize how much you have to pay on taxes (Slogans on the Wall), etc? so you can see that these are typical social topics. Most of all I like the song called Bread and Roses which is great singalong and catchy tune. The album is listenable and I have not so many things to criticize, maybe the short playing time. Inside is gatefold booklet with lyrics and photo collage. If you like US bands which are ore into punk rock, Harrington Saints didn´t disappoint you for sure!
