Review: 'KLEINE SCHWEINE'
'In Your Own Back Yard'   

-  Label: 'Self Released'
-  Genre: 'Punk/New Wave' -  Release Date: '2nd April 2015'

Our Rating:
This Leeds based punk band's second album pulls no punches : "This is a 'Fuck You' to some of the biggest arseholes around".

Well, fuck you very much for that!

Before taking offence, be advised that the 'arseholes' in question include UKIP. The National Rifle Association and "countless establishment paedophiles". This reassures you that these songs are not just random diatribes against all and sundry. The track titles may be full of tacky puns but the venom expressed is serious.

The overall perspective is best summed up by the line "Lying bastards, fuck 'em all!" from Daily Express Yourself.

All tracks clock in under 2 minutes except for 24 Hour Conservative Party People in which the group take over 5 minutes to itemise the failings of the Tories (Sample: "You were elected to serve the people, not just to serve yourself").

My top title is Russia (Fuck Yeah!) and my favourite line is "ooh this power, it gives me an erection" in the admirably titled Never Gunner Give Me Up.

Subtle it ain't but as a breathless 'screw you' to new wavers, shoegazers and plastic pop stars everywhere this is exactly what Punk Rock should sound like!
