Raw and raucous. This is how it is. This is how it should be. This is what separates the wheat from the chaff, the shit from the sublime; the track that on hearing for the very first time, makes you want to leap headfirst into a mosh of heaving bodies...or at the very least, play very very loud and very very often. On this new single from Stevenage four-piece Bad Breeding, we got up to 20 plays on consecutive repeat before we thought it wise to have a little lie down and give our ears a rest.
Like their previous offering earlier this year, 'Age Of Nothing', 'Burn This Flag' comes at you like an out of control express train: powerful, brutal, discordant. A two minute kick in the balls with deadly intensity.
Punk didn't die. It was just waiting for Bad Breeding.
