Album Review. Ladyfinger (ne) - Heavy Hands.

I’ve had a moment – ‘07 breakthrough number one. Gentle taps on my indie-rock shell it started as. “Fuck off,” I thought; but when the first brick fell, destruction of my cobwebs via a punk-rock executioner followed.

Brutal it was, as the ferocity of Ladyfinger (ne)’s politicised punk-rock opened a massive chasm of fresh air and had my ears fucking spasming they needed it so bad. Where the hell have I been?

Sure there are some stupid lyrics (no religion for the upper classes/all expenses paid, trip to nowhere) but the energy, the intense aggression, the tight, spiky leads, the monstrously obnoxious vocals and 10 tracks in 32 minutes has me hooked.

I can officially declare my hunt for decent yielding of Telecasters temporarily nulled, shout “fuck yeah” and get myself some more of this shit.
