Our Take
Our Take
TOM HINGLEY Keep Britain Untidy is a chaotic love letter to the days of punk rock rebellion, complete with its own brand of messy charm. Hingley, former frontman of the iconic Inspiral Carpets, hits all the right notes with this raw and gritty album that showcases his unapologetic spirit and boundless energy.
From the opening track "Anarchy in Tameside" to the closing ballad "Messy Love," Hingley wears his heart on his sleeve and lets loose with a collection of songs that are as unpredictable as they are catchy. His distinctive vocals, filled with a rough-edged passion, drive the album forward, while his lyrics touch on everything from political dissent to personal longing.
The production on Keep Britain Untidy may be lo-fi, but that only adds to its appeal, giving the songs a sense of urgency and immediacy that is hard to ignore. The guitars are loud and scuzzy, the drums pound away with reckless abandon, and the overall sound is a glorious mess of distortion and feedback.
While Hingley may not be reinventing the wheel with this album, he doesn't need to. Keep Britain Untidy is a throwback to a time when music was all about feeling and attitude, and Hingley nails it with his distinctive blend of punk rock swagger and infectious melodies. So grab a pint, turn up the volume, and let TOM HINGLEY Keep Britain Untidy transport you back to the heyday of British punk rock.
