Issue #2 Drunk Mums - Plastic

drunkmums.bandcamp.com

'The band have hit the nail on the head with their newest single, Plastic, which doesn't steer very far away from their first album, Eventual Ghost, from 2011. Drunk Mums have retained their sound without repeating the same thing for four years. Somewhere in their songs is a youthfulness, and you can't help but think about (and want to be) a little bit reckless and live in the moment. And maybe that's part of their attraction? Their songs have an immediacy in the way life does. Shit goes on, and while that's happening, let's all just drink a beer and have fun! And it sort of makes you want to say, fuck you to everyone you've ever known, and everyone you've ever hated, in the nicest possible way.' 

'Burn in Hell's musical style has been called, "pirate rock" in the past, but don't get the wrong idea. In fact, that term seems to squeeze their sound into a tiny rotten key hole where it really doesn't belong (well, doesn't belong entirely), and I can see how pirate rock could turn a lot of people off. I mean, we're not talking drunken parrots and a wooden stump here, we're talking old worldly despair, dirt, blood and booze; gravel in a wound, a rusted knife thrust into the leg during an amputation doused in alcohol, lust, love and all of that...'
