These lads have been a bit quiet lately (ok hasn’t everyone) so its good to welcome them back with a high octane single as a single malt taster for an upcoming album.
This charts the perils of drinking starting with an unfeasibly fast bass riff before a full Punk Rock blast from the band kicks in. This is definitely going to be a good one live, it bounces off the walls in its recorded form. The chants and yelled but amazingly harmonised vocals keep coming at you, a nice bit of Celtic sounding lead guitar breaks it up before its away at 100 MPH again.
A different sound from Hummer here, slightly more in Drop Kick Murphys or The Real McKenzies territory than I’ve heard from them before, albeit as if played by Motorhead. The gnarled main vocals from Will suit the subject, he sounds like he’s living the subject matter, but the band provide an uplifting no compromise musical take on it all.
We have an advance copy of the album so a review to follow shortly, the album is released Friday 18 December 2020, the single is available now.
A lot of fun, bring on the mosh-pit’s for this one.
