Our Take

Ah, Former Cell Mates. A band with a name so fitting for their music, it's almost too perfect. Their latest album, "Who's Dead And What's To Pay," is a rollercoaster of emotions, blending punk rock energy with melancholic lyrics in a way that only they can.

From the opening track, "Give Me My Fix," you're hit with a wave of nostalgia for the good old days of mosh pits and sweaty venues. The raw vocals of lead singer Mick McTavish cut through the noise, drawing you in with tales of heartbreak and rebellion.

But don't be fooled by the catchy hooks and infectious beats; Former Cell Mates have a depth to their songwriting that sets them apart from your average punk band. Tracks like "Broken Dreams Boulevard" and "Left With Nothing" delve into the darker side of life, painting a vivid picture of love lost and dreams shattered.

And let's not forget the musicianship on display here. The blistering guitar solos from Steve "Shreds" Johnson and the thunderous drumming of Pete "Boom Boom" Thompson are nothing short of phenomenal.

In conclusion, "Who's Dead And What's To Pay" is a triumph for Former Cell Mates. It's a reminder that punk rock is alive and kicking, and these guys are at the forefront of the movement. So grab your leather jacket, crank up the volume, and let Former Cell Mates take you on a wild ride through the underbelly of rock and roll.

About the artist

Former Cell Mates

FORMER CELL MATES is a band that refuses to be tied down by conventional genre labels. Hailing from the gritty streets of East London, this dynamic group effortlessly fuses punk, rock, and indie influences to create a sound that is uniquely their own. Led by the enigmatic frontman, Johnny Riot, FORMER CELL MATES are known for their high-energy live performances that leave audiences exhilarated and breathless. With a stage presence that is part madman, part rock god, Riot has a magnetic charisma that is impossible to ignore. The rest of the band is equally impressive, with each member bringing their own distinct style and flair to the table. Guitarist Vicky Vicious shreds with a ferocity that would make even the most seasoned rock veterans green with envy, while drummer Tommy Thunder pounds out beats that are as thunderous as his name suggests. But what truly sets FORMER CELL MATES apart is their songwriting prowess. With lyrics that are equal parts poetic and rebellious, the band tackles themes of love, loss, and the struggles of everyday life with a honesty and rawness that is both refreshing and relatable. In a music scene that is often oversaturated with cookie-cutter acts, FORMER CELL MATES stand out as a breath of fresh air. Their music is a reminder that rock and roll is still very much alive and kicking, and that sometimes, all you need is a loud guitar and a bit of attitude to make a statement.
