Description
The War Goes On – “Assisted Armageddon” LP
The second 12″ by this Danish punk that have been around since 2008. A great balance between melodic hookery and a gritty, rough-edged urgency. A timeless quality, it goes all the way back to Naked Raygun and Agent Orange, (maybe even a very slight touch of Abrasive Wheels/English Dogs); and then picking-up an element of somone like, say, Manifesto Jukebox… and No Problem, on route back to 2021. Apparently, aside from their early US and UK punk influence, they equally draw inspiration from classic Danish rock and pop of the ’80s – which is not exactly my area of expertise, so I couldn’t possibly comment…. except to say, I’m now curious to check-out Danish chart songs of the 1980s…
