Review of Pint Shot Riot's CD "Punches Kicks Trenches And Swords"

Now I would have given the song title a little more punctuation, but that is how I received and therefore review this song. From the alarm-sounding annoyance of the guitar at the start to punky riffs, the entire thing is let down by weak vocals. At times this song seems a little like it has been layered (and nobody's tried to hide it) on Cubase or another music program; with a short guitar riff that keeps neatly appearing everywhere. They have kept the punk tradition of a shouty chorus featuring a distinct lack of more than a one liner, and long, ringing chords. The only thing that could save this is the guitar solo, but overall there's a lot better out there.
