Two more album reviews

From Mild Peril Zine, Issue 14 (June 2009)Bastion – Consequences (Home Of The Brave Records – 2009)
As soon as the first ring out of the first song Beasts rings out, I have a slight inkling that I’m gonna like this album, then it kicks off into this fucking intense upbeat melodic punk rock and I think I’m gonna REALLY like this album. The next track Big Yellow, is of a slower tempo, more of a mid-tempo gruffy variety, some fantastic backing vocals really make this sound HUGE! A kinda mixture of Swinging Utters and The Bouncing Souls. The album carries on from that point I’m glad to say, very catchy, sometimes fast, sometimes very fast, never too slow though! I won’t bother picking out my favourite songs, you should buy the album (£5.50 inc P&P) and choose your own! Anyway, these dudes are from Brighton and this is their debut album, apparently they are geeks; ones an electrical engineer, ones a science technician and two are comic book writers. Thank you loads Home Of The Brave for sending this my way, a proper great album which Bastion must be chuffed to fuck to have released, certainly going on my list of UK bands I like.

***Wehay! another good review, Cheers Mild Peril Zine Dudes!***

Issue Punk Zine Number 42: May/June 2009Bastion – Consequences (Home Of The Brave Records – 2009)
BASTION are a bloody fantastic punk band from Brighton, who have gigged extensively, put out a couple of decent demo's and now a knock out album. Delivered for the most part at breath-taking speed it is the perfect blend of old-school, melodic hardcore and even a dash of pop punk to complete the picture. There are a whole stack of fast, catchy, punchy punk tracks on the gem of a CD. All the songs are great, although track 9 (EDIT No Way! Jose!) is my fave and that's down to some of the lyrics. But it's all just so god-damned punky that it doesn't really matter cos they are all winners.

***And another good review, un-fucking-believable!***
