Album Review : Howler

Hello! It's 2012 and this blog is still going.....that's cause for celebration itself! High fives all round!

Someone should tell Howler that it's 2012 and not either 1977 or 2001. The great white hope have just released their debut album, America Give Up, in the midst of great acclaim from the likes of NME and The Fly (front covers all round, well done chaps), and the record is even released by Rough Trade. It says a lot about the state of music - or at least the world of music as the NME sees it - that a bunch of kids who are basically playing Strokes covers are being touted as essential listening.

Anyway, there are some decent songs on America Give Up, so it's not entirely devoid of hope, and to read more of my critical assault you can head to The Line Of Best Fit to read more.

But you can guess that I don't like 'em much.....click click.
