Our Take

Government Issue's self-titled album is a rollercoaster of punk rock energy that will leave you feeling like you've just been hit by a double-decker bus while riding on the top deck. From the opening track "Plain to See" to the closing notes of "Sheer Terror," this album is a non-stop riot of fast-paced riffs, snarling vocals, and relentless drumming.

Lead vocalist John Stabb's gritty and rebellious delivery adds a raw edge to the band's sound, while the frenetic guitar work of Tom Lyle and Brian Baker keeps things moving at breakneck speed. Tracks like "Partyline" and "Bored to Death" are sure to get your heart pounding and your fists pumping in the air.

But it's not all chaos and mayhem on this album. Songs like "Rocky Mountain Way" and "Boycott Stupidity" show a more melodic side to Government Issue, with catchy hooks and sing-along choruses that will have you humming along for days.

Overall, Government Issue's self-titled album is a powerhouse of punk rock goodness that deserves a spot in every music lover's collection. So grab a pint, crank up the volume, and let the explosive sounds of Government Issue transport you to a world where rules are meant to be broken and punk rock reigns supreme.
