… and the boisterous brothers are back. No, not that pair from Manchester, but Chris and Rich Robinson, with a follow-up to 2024’s Happiness Bastards. Labelled “The Most Rock ‘n’ Roll Rock ‘n’ Roll Band in the World” by the Melody Maker, it’s not difficult to guess what’s on offer with this latest release, A Pound Of Feathers.
Profane Prophecy starts off with a transplanted Rolling Stones groove and cowbell. There’s lots of energy, handclaps and foot stomping aplenty and even a dog imitation at one point. Exhilaratingly fun and a good opening choice. Cruel Streak, which follows, keeps up the pace. It’s an up-tempo rocking blues (what else?) with nicely juddering staccato drums and a key shift which gives it extra bite.
