Our Take

HAMELL ON TRIAL's latest offering, "Tackle Box", is a truly fishy affair. The singer-songwriter's unique blend of folk punk and storytelling is on full display here, reeling listeners in with his witty lyrics and catchy hooks.

From the opening track, "Gone Fishin'", HAMELL ON TRIAL hook line and sinks us into his world of angling adventures and heartbreak. His gravelly vocals and acerbic wit are matched only by his impressive guitar skills.

Tracks like "The Big One Got Away" and "Fishin' Blues" showcase HAMELL ON TRIAL's ability to blend humour and introspection, creating a truly captivating listening experience. His storytelling is so vivid, you can almost smell the bait and hear the sound of the waves crashing in the background.

But it's not all smooth sailing on "Tackle Box". Some tracks, like "Fisherman's Blues", may leave listeners feeling a bit washed up, with repetitive choruses and lacklustre melodies.

Overall, "Tackle Box" is a solid catch for fans of quirky folk punk. HAMELL ON TRIAL's unique style and storytelling prowess make this album a must-listen for those looking for something a bit off the beaten path. So grab your fishing rod, sit back, and reel in the sounds of HAMELL ON TRIAL. Just watch out for the hooks – they're sharp!
