Full review

Stiff Little Fingers, a band held by most true punk fans to be one of the better bands of its day.

Although it doesnt have the current popularity of the clash or sex pistols, which is probably a good thing, this band really do capture the punk attitude and do it very well.

The album has some absolute classics on it such as alternative ulster (yes they're irish - perhaps an old day version of flogging molly?) which is not only really good punk music, but yes, has some darn polotics in it too!

there are 13 tracks and 2 more bonus tracks AND a fairly lengthy interview by Alan Parker with Jake Burns (lead singer) giving you an even better feel and understanding of the band.

If its just the music your after, I am guessing you are looking at this album because you like punk. If thats the case you'll definately not be let down, its an awesome punk album and one you'll definately not regret buying - especially since its so cheap!!

So if you're thinking yeah maybe i'll buy it - just buy it!! Its really great!

As with any album all of the songs are not super excellent wow!! but the majority are... so in that sense its far better than most albums around today!!!

and lastly, if you have found this review in any way helpful, please do me a small favour and rate the review at the bottom of the screen (the more positive the better).

many thanks for reading!
