Review: The Bristles - Bigger than punk

The Bristles - Bigger than punk (CD)
http://thebristles.wordpress.com
(http://www.heptownrecords.com)
Listen and learn... To Bristelize something is to take an orginal idea an make it heavier, harder and often better because of the rock n roll touch. That's exactly what The Bristles anno 2012 does. In this case is the original idea old school US hardcore like Minor Threat or Gorilla Biscuits but after the Bristelizing is the output something else, it is the sound of The Bristles. I think you know by now that The Bristles was formed in the early 80.s and they are just as pissed today as they were back in the days, the biggest difference is probably the lyrics, which are more mature today. And the political lyrics are fucking excellent with always current topics about the sick society. Two years have passed since their last album was released, I really liked that album (Reflections of the bourgeois society) and they continue almost like that album ended, but "Bigger than punk" is a bit harder but still with the punk rock feeling. The cover is awfull, but the music contents is fantastic. Finally, the reggae song Spirit Way isn't bad at all. 

News: The Bristles

"The Bristles new album Bigger than Punk will be out November 2 2012. The album title’s follows the Dead Prez’, but concerning punk; the music is only a soundtrack to the revolutionary struggle.

The album contains 11 tracks like “A Womans Work is Never Done” that deals with male chauvinism, “Holidays in Thailand” about western sex- and drugs tourism, and “the American Dream”, one of the biggest lies ever. The album also contains a dub song, Spirit Way, about drug abuse. An abuse the members of the band have put behind them.

The release is a cooperation between Switchlight Records, Turist i Tillvaron, Noise of Sweden and Heptown Records, and will be out both on cd and vinyl.

The album is produced by Tommy Tift (Sista Sekunden & Vånna Inget)."

Interview: The Bristles from Sweden

Because of the fact that The Bristles are booked for the 2-day festival at Kafe 44 in Stockholm this summer, here is a recent interview. They might be old, but still angry... let's go...

1. Hello Svegis, how are The Bristles feeling today?

The band just had a winter break. Now the winters almost done were back together, rehearsing, writing new songs... getting the shit together.

 
2. You are booked for the 2-day fest at Kafe 44 in Stockholm, what do you look forward to? You are gonna play, but is there any special bands you really want to see?

Yeah, really looking forward to play there. We've played at 44:an once before and we're always looking forward to go there and meet Tompa Eken who is a GREAT man, and who we've known since Ultrahuset days. Meanwhile is a nice band, Makabert fynd as well, and I'm looking forward to meet Jallo again, a long time ago since last time....

3. Do you have any other plans for the spring and the summer?

We have just started to look for gigs and festivals, and writing new songs. Do you want us to play, contact the_bristles@hotmail.com

4. And you are also running Heptown Record as well. Can you reveal any upcomming releases now?

Well, I just work at Hepcat Store and our inhouse label is Heptown Records: We have just released Sir Reg (celtic punk) and Troubled Three (rockabilly) and now in march we will release The Cremators  album, a Swedish psychobilly band.

5. Any last words you wanna spread to the people out there? Thanx, and hope you will have a fantastic year.

Keep up the fight against the racists and the fascists!
