I featured Boilermaker on here back in 2016 when they were starting up and there was very little info available for them so I asked vocalist Max Turnbull to introduce the band (worth a read : https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2016/11/boilermaker-8182.html). Anyway, it's been a while but they managed to get their debut album, Shop Floor, released in time for their recent successful appearance at the Rebellion Festival.
As mentioned, the band features Max Turnbull on vocals as well as fellow ex Last Rough Cause member, guitarist Phil Coates, drummer Mike Robson (Gimp Fist, Thankless Graft, Last Crusade) and bassist Steve Addison. You can find more info here : https://www.facebook.com/Boilermaker-209740036112657/
They've just put out a video for one of the songs on the album. Ominous, brooding guitars lead into Max asking if you can feel tension in the air. What follows is a modern day street punk anthem about fighting in the dark of night, 2 sides trying to gain control, senseless violence, flashing lights, sirens... the background to a sleepless night. This is a band that can paint a picture. This is a band that are powerful and skilled in their craft. Check 'em out.
This is The Sirens And The Lights...
This was excellent !!!
