Our Take

ALTERNATIVE TV's debut album "The Image Has Cracked" is a rollicking ride through the chaotic landscape of post-punk, dripping with raw energy and DIY spirit. From the moment the opening track "Love Lies Limp" kicks in, it's clear that this is not your average cookie-cutter punk record.

Frontman Mark Perry's vocals veer from sneering to soaring, and the band's stripped-down instrumentation allows every gritty guitar riff and pounding drumbeat to hit with maximum impact. Tracks like "Viva La Rock 'n' Roll" and "Life After Life" are anthems for the disaffected youth of the late 70s, encapsulating the sense of disillusionment and defiance that defined the era.

The album's production may be rough around the edges, but that only adds to its charm and authenticity. The lo-fi recording gives each song a sense of urgency and immediacy, as if the band is playing right in front of you in a dingy basement venue.

While "The Image Has Cracked" may not have the glossy sheen of more mainstream punk releases, it more than makes up for it with its raw power and unapologetic attitude. This is music that feels like a sucker punch to the gut, leaving you breathless and exhilarated. Grab a copy of this album and let ALTERNATIVE TV transport you back to a time when punk was still a dangerous and radical force to be reckoned with.
