From 'Lights Go Out' Zine Issue 5 (June 2009)
Bastion - Consequences (Home of the Brave)
Being from up north means that I'm not very up on southern bands so I've
not heard this band before. Bastion are a punk band from Brighton. From
what I gather (that's right Mr T, I do my research!), they've had a
couple of demos and a couple of songs out on compilations but this is
their first full length album. They're one of those bands who play their
songs as fast as physically possible, which could be good or bad really.
These guys seem to pull it off though and the album is packed with fast,
sing-along songs, which wouldn't be out of place in an underground bar
packed with kids who have snuck out from their parents' houses on a
school night just to shout the songs.
***Not Bad! Cheers***
Bastion - Consequences (Home Of The Brave)
Ladies and gentlemen, I think we've found our album of 2009! Seriously
this is that f+cking good, I think you should all go and order your copy
without delay, maybe instead of reading the rest of this review. But for
those of you who haven't taken my advice then I guess I'd better tell
you a little more about Consequences by Bastion. Hailing from Brighton
this 4 piece play a very UK sounding gruff punk rock with some hardcore
and some street values, but with a foot definitely in the rock and roll
camp of punk. The songs are pacey and powerful, the vocals brash and
fast. The backing vocals are excellent too and it event has some great
sing a long opportunities. The power of this album really does hit you
full on smack in the face. It's hard to pick out some tracks of note but
I'll drop a mention to "Trust Me!", "Doooooomed", "One For The Road",
"Detectives" and "I Don't Like Your Face, Pal!" but it is hard from the
14 on offer. Not a duff tune on here. So if you've read the whole thing,
nice one and now get yourself ordering this album, it's gonna be stuck
on my player for quite a while!
***Believe it or not, we didn't suck off the reviewer.***
Reviews from Mild Peril Issue 14, and Issue Punk Zine will be added here as soon as we can be bothered to type them out.
