Our Take

Ah, the debut album from the Gareth Williams Power Trio, "Shockin British English" is a wild ride from start to finish. This album showcases Williams' undeniable talent and unique style, blending elements of rock, funk, and jazz into an electrifying sound that is bound to leave listeners speechless.

From the opening track, "The Queen's Tea Party," to the closing notes of "Brexit Blues," Gareth Williams and his bandmates prove why they are a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. Williams' guitar work is nothing short of mind-blowing, with jaw-dropping solos that will have you hitting the replay button again and again.

But it's not just Williams who shines on this album; the rhythm section of the Power Trio is tight and groovy, providing the perfect foundation for Williams to unleash his musical wizardry. Tracks like "Bangers and Mash Boogie" and "Punk Rock Cockney" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend genres and create something truly unique.

Overall, "Shockin British English" is a must-listen for fans of innovative and boundary-pushing music. Gareth Williams Power Trio have truly outdone themselves with this album, and I can't wait to see what they have in store for us next. Pitchfork rating: 8.5/10.
