SEALED NEW.
This release does the Riffs justice in capturing their unique, powerful,
and authentic sound in 10 concise tracks that tend to be faster tempo,
more energetic, and considerably shorter than most of their earlier
releases. While their first album, "Underground Kicks" (soon to be
released on Vinyl in some Scandinavian Swi-something country and also on
TKO Records) was more mid-tempo and accomplished an uncanny
resurrection of '77 punk, this album is noticably more in the vein of
later ('82), faster and more abrasive punk, though it doesn't sacrifice
any talent or authenticity.
Along with immeasurably-better recordings of their previous
single "White Line Kids" and it's B-Side "Kick Time Suicide," this album
features 7 new tracks and an additional re-recording of the Champions'
"In The City." With essentially all of the band members writing the
different songs on their own, somehow all of the tracks consolidate into
a perfectly-blended, fluidly-flowing album that crystalizes what the
Riffs are about--pain, agony, substance abuse, despair and the like.
It's explicit and painful but fucking brilliant.
