"Barons & bankers" is a blow on those responsible for the world crisis, seen through the punk attitude and the anger of someone who grew up in garages.
Even when this fourtet plays a ballad ("Truth and Consequence") there is an underlying angst, common in those who got the blues. Yet another strong feature of this record is post punk, delivered both in a visceral, heartfelt way as in the challanging and pounding "Raising to the Round" and in a more intellectual Talking-Heads-like way in the groovy "70og box".
While the rock'n'roll suggestions in "Running to the Moon" may heavily hint to The Clash, possibly mixed with a 50s style, in "Vanished from the scene" the band is let loose on a wild beat ride, with some very good blues in it.
Listening to "Barons & bankers" is the best way to kick-start the new year!
Having left behind lysergic desert rock, former Kyuss' offspring Chris Cockrell A.KA. Vic du Monte threw himself head first into this new project, now releasing its second album, brimful of pure, meaty garage rock.
