Our Take

INMATES: The Album 1979-82 is a veritable time capsule of the post-punk era, capturing the essence of a band teetering on the brink of greatness. From the opening track, "Rebel Yell," to the closing notes of "City of Angels," this collection is a heady mix of raw energy and socio-political commentary.

Lead singer Johnny Blaze's vocals are a rollercoaster of emotion, veering from snarling defiance to tender vulnerability with a flick of his cigarette. The band's tight musicianship and infectious rhythms drive the album forward like a runaway train, leaving listeners breathless and exhilarated.

Tracks like "London Calling" and "Anarchy in the UK" showcase the band at their most rebellious, while slower numbers like "Ghost Town" and "Love Will Tear Us Apart" reveal a more introspective side to their songwriting. INMATES manage to strike the perfect balance between aggression and melody, creating a sound that is uniquely their own.

While the production may be a bit rough around the edges, it only adds to the album's charm, giving it a sense of authenticity that is often lacking in today's overproduced music. INMATES: The Album 1979-82 is a must-listen for any fan of punk rock, and a timeless classic that will continue to inspire and electrify audiences for years to come.

About the artist

The Inmates

INMATES are Manchester's latest breakout indie band, blending infectious hooks with a rebellious edge that sets them apart from their peers. Fronted by the charismatic duo of lead vocalist Jamie "Jailbird" Davis and guitarist Sadie "The Shank" Thompson, the band's high-energy live performances have earned them a devoted following in the UK's buzzing music scene. With influences ranging from gritty post-punk to shimmering new wave, INMATES' sound is a modern take on the classics, combining raw energy with catchy melodies that stick in your head long after the show is over. Tracks like "Cell Block Blues" and "Riot in the Yard" showcase the band's ability to craft anthems that are both infectious and thought-provoking. But don't let their rebellious image fool you - beneath the leather jackets and punk rock attitude, INMATES are a group of skilled musicians who take their craft seriously. Drummer Max "The Warden" Wilson's precision beats provide a solid foundation for the band's dynamic sound, while bassist Harry "The Houdini" Evans adds depth and groove to each track. INMATES' debut EP "Locked Up and Loaded" has already garnered critical acclaim, with its raw production capturing the band's live energy in a way that few studio recordings can. With their star on the rise and a growing fan base eagerly awaiting their next move, INMATES are proving themselves to be a force to be reckoned with in the world of indie rock. Keep an eye on these jailbirds - their music is anything but behind bars.
