RejectedThere are bands you know are never going to let you down, and thankfully Rejected fall firmly into that category.  Showcasing everything that's good about the UK punk scene at the moment, Rejected deliver a new millennium twist on a familiar formula that'll give you plenty to get pissed up and shout/jump about to.

 

Guitarist Paul rips out some great riffs here on their all-new self-titled album, whilst the rhythm section of Jon and Dave are harder than a priest's knob at choir practise. With CV's that include stints in bands such as In The Shit and (Über Röck approved) Bullet Ridden these lot aren't gonna be caught pussy-footing around, and the opening salvo of 'Paranoia' and 'Not In My Name' set a frantic pace. 'Liberty Lost' and 'White Poison' should get the European crowds going when they head out on their imminent tour of said continent. It's not all flat out stuff though, 'Think' provides a slower, but no less powerful, reprieve that allows vocalist Andy to emphasise his pointed, intelligent lyrics more clearly. 'Protest' then relights the touch paper and is a real up-tempo stormer. 'Save Our Souls' takes the pace down a couple of notches again before the triple upper-cuts of 'Enslaved', 'Migration' and 'Conformity' leave you flattened and very satisfied.

 

The quality really doesn't dip at any point on here and this really is an excellent release from another great UK band. You can order your copy for £6 in a Digi Pack with poster booklet from either of the links below.
