One of my favorite Victory band, the River City Rebels are back with a new album entitled “No Good, No Time, No Pride”: this CD delivers 12 of the best tracks the Rebels ever wrote, plus some very cool enhanced materials taken from the band’s 2002 tour. Talking of the music, you can hear how this band is able to evolve with every album. Differenly from their previous works, on the new album we can hear how the River City Rebels are not drunk punks, but are smart punks with the great capacity of writing amazing punk songs. From the opening “Such A Bore”, to “Drunken Angel” to “No Good”, it’s wasy to see this band take inspiration not just from ska music, but also from rock, punk rock - obviously - and reggae, to put together 12 of the best track I had to hear on a so called “street punk” or “Punk rock” album. If there should be any need to prove this band is talented, I guess “No Good, No Time, No Pride” is what it takes. Big props to Victory for releasing such a great album. | carlo@staff.truepunk.com
