Reviews / Album

"Jasta and company don’t just stick to their guns stylistically – you’d have to prise said proverbial weapons out of their cold, dead hands."

"There is no room for error on Stompy & The Heat. In fact, there’s barely room to catch your breath."

"There are strains of classic songwriters like Cohen, Young and Dylan echoing across the album but Jones’ scorched earth guitar tones and battered voice ground the songs in a raw and earthy place that works to strip them of any scholarly pretension."

"Rather than showing a more honest and personable side to the band, these ten tracks soon become radio-friendly background noise."

"The Pogues’ blend of punk rock, Irish folk and rock’n’roll was anachronistic when it first surfaced in the early-‘80s, but the songs have remained as timeless as the day they were recorded."

"Decompositions conjures up images of blood and piss but finishes up with a sense of darkened peace and bliss."
