Born out of the ashes of bargain basement glam band Silverwing, this is Pet Hate’s second album, released in ’84 and they were finished by ’85. Were they ahead of their time, as the sleaze thing never took hold for a couple more years in LA? To be honest, this has more in common with the punk vibe than NWOBHM, which was well under way by this point.
A very raw sounding record with a very lo-fi production. It’s hard to pick a favourite track, but I’m going for the 1234 Ramones vibe of Caught Red Handed.
Perhaps they should have stayed with Silverwing they were a tad more tolerable.
4/10 from The Grooveman.
