Ed Banger and the Nosebleeds

The album opens up with `Bite Back Rock n Roll` a  blistering introduction that is nearly The Ramones on speed. I can imagine a sea of raised arms with clenched fists pumping the air when shared live. There was almost a belligerence to `Nobody Tells Me` and at times it reminded me a little of The Damned`s  `Neat Neat Neat as it pounded away.

`Can`t Stand The News` has a real bluster about it with some cracking vocal harmonies and a   superbly subtle guitar solo thrown in for good measure. There was a kind of rolling rockabilly drumbeat and grinding guitar riff  throughout `Rolling Thunder` that will have you tapping your foot along to at the very least.

`Babylon` is a much more reflective stirring submission with a continuous piano beat running through and saxophone swathes where even the vocal seems more considered in its delivery. We have a powerful guitar riff underpinning the vocal on the thoughtful `Freedom` which rolls along.

`Walk Away` is a melodic punk offering with a chorus where the lyrics are rapidly and intricately sung. A scorching guitar strums and  bounces along the addictive `Worlds Collide` which will have you shouting along with the chorus.

`One For the Road` is a little different with thumped piano keys, a kind of retro mix match of Mott the Hoople and Steve Harley`s Cockney Rebel. A reflective rock n roll number that becomes quite hypnotic and fades with a pensive saxophone tone. Grungy guitar chords lead us through `My Kinda Rocker` which bobs along. A track that longs for times gone by and the addition of delightful saxophone colours adds a certain poignancy.

`Love Of the Night` sounds as if  it`s recorded live. It strolls along in a kind of a jam and brought to mind trailblazers such as Iggy Pop and early Bowie. Unashamedly and delightfully retro rock n roll. We have a veiled tribute to The Rolling Stones with `Rolling Stoned` that has that bluesy rock  Stones swagger about it. Subtle references to  `Jumping Jack Flash`, `Street Fighting Man` and a chorus of  `Let It Bleed` are all cleverly slipped in throughout the piece. As Mick might say, it maybe Only Rock n roll but I certainly liked this.

I thought `Riding the Whirlwind` was a quite dramatic nigh on theatrical song that could have been integrated quite easily in the Rocky Horror Picture Show. The album closes out with `Blinded` a track that has punk at its heart with a buzzy or fuzzy guitar underpinning it as the vocals float atop and around.

I knew the name Ed Banger but I have to own up and say I wouldn`t have been familiar with any of their musical content so I was elated with what I heard on `Revolution X`. It`s a mix of punk with a glam shimmer and a real rock n roll bite. `Revolution X` certainly was a revelation for me. If you want some heads down, no nonsense punk ‘n’ roll, Ed Banger and the Nosebleeds offer up the premier league version here.

Rating 9/10
