| Review: The Apple Scruffs - Patti |
| Monday, 22 October 2007 |
 If I could some up this song in just two words, they would be ‘kick ass!' The band set about causing an explosion from the start with a breakneck speed that makes you want to jump around like a loon. Really good vibe, I can imagine the atmosphere at any of their gigs is electric from the start.
Fast drumbeats and racing guitars set up a great tune. The vocals do the tune so much justice, and that makes the track absolutely complete in every way I don't think you'll find a better punk track around at the moment and it'll take a lot to knock this tune off my top ten! Instantly the song is in your head and the energy given off can be felt, if you're feeling tired put this song on instead of wasting 2 quid on redbull it'll give you wings! So what about the band? One hit wonders? Not on your life! This band took over where the Libertines left off! The four songs I've been listening to are all as great as each other, definitely a Libertines/Sex Pistols thing going on in some tracks but the song ‘Lit the Candles at Both Ends' has a Beatles/Bob Dylan sound to it and the band make it work. It's good to see a band only obsessed with making great music, hats off to the guys they are an amazing band and definitely worth their strong following, I just hope more people check them out because if they can create monster sounds like ‘Patti' the sky's the limit! So if you're into Punk go find this band live! If you're not, then go find this band live! I guarantee it'll be a very entertaining and electric experience that'll make you want more.
