Our Take

RETARDED's self-titled album on splatter vinyl is a wild ride from start to finish. This Sheffield-based band brings a fresh, eccentric energy to the punk scene with their unique blend of noisy guitars and off-kilter vocals.

From the opening track "Goblin in the Basement" to the closing notes of "Alien Love Song," RETARDED keep listeners on their toes with unexpected tempo changes and unconventional song structures. It's like they're constantly daring you to try and predict what comes next, only to veer in a completely different direction at the last minute.

The band's fearless approach to experimentation is evident in tracks like "Marmite Sandwich" and "Disco Vampire," where they seamlessly blend elements of post-punk, garage rock, and even a touch of ska. It's a chaotic mix, but somehow it all comes together in a gloriously messy masterpiece.

The standout moment on the album has to be the epic 10-minute opus "Psychedelic Donkey Ride," which takes listeners on a trippy journey through psychedelia and back again. It's a bold move for a band to commit to such a sprawling track, but RETARDED pull it off with confidence and flair.

Overall, RETARDED's self-titled album is a breath of fresh air in a sea of cookie-cutter punk bands. With their fearless approach to experimentation and genre-blending sound, this band is definitely one to watch. Grab a copy of the splatter vinyl and prepare to be blown away.
