Now, I have already reviewed the only two albums the band had recorded that this anthology contains. It is of worth however, if you are struggling to find the original two albums and if you missed out on the band’s first EP Out In The Wild, which I think appeared on a label called Guardian and is also included here.
The Now Hear This record sounded raw, but the EP sounds like it was recorded in someone’s garage. The drum sound is awful, but you can’t deny the energy and power from the band as Davey Patton’s guitar and Jimmy Brash’s vocals sound great. I think Kev Charlton and Davey are still playing in bands around Newcastle, but it’s these songs here that remind you that with a little bit of luck they should have and could have been huge.
8.5/10 from The Grooveman.
