Shooting
At Unarmed Men
|
A
fitter, meaner, leaner Shooting At Unarmed Men release
their first album proper – Yes! Tinnitus! –
this May on Too Pure.
Originally formed by ex-mcluskyer Jon Chapple during the
bitty in between bits of his previous band’s commitments,
Shooting At Unarmed Men are now a force to be reckoned
with and if their mini-album of last year Soon There Will
Be Shooting At Unarmed Men served as mere foreplay then
brace yourself for the full frontal attack of Yes! Tinnitus!
Outgoing bassist, Simon Alexander, has been replaced by
the incoming Simon Jarvis (for other works of his, see
Big Joan and Steevless) and this is duly reflected in
a tighter, hungrier sound. There’s no questioning
that this is a more rounded record than it’s predecessor
and while it seems they can now do subtle (‘In-flight
Instructions Are A Joke – Say I’ and ‘Never
Follow Me Again’), fear not as they’ve not lost
their ability to be equally as brutal (‘A Horse By
Day Is A Horse By Night’, ‘All Hail Sergio’
and ‘I Cry For No Man’).
No half measures are being taken, what you hear is what
the band want you to hear. Yes! Tinnitus! is a marvel
to behold and should help mclusky fans to finally put
their ghost to rest cos there’s a new cock of the
roost. |
