Metal Asylum Reviews DCxPC Live Vol. 13 Degenerates of Punk Live
DCxPC Presents Degenerates Of Punk Vol 13 Live At Ralph’s Rock Diner
Posted on May 30, 2023
DCxPC is a collaboration that books and releases music from live shows for multiple bands and Volume 13 presented Degenerates Of Punk Live At Ralph’s Rock Diner. It was released on 19/05/2023 and is one of many that I have now reviewed by DCxPC.
Degenerates Of Punk formed in 2019, consisting of members Jimmy West Jr on guitar and vocals, Sparrow Cat on bass and vocals and Bobby Forand on drums and vocals, hail from Massachusetts, USA, and have been called “New England’s best Ramonescore band!”
The album has twelve songs, the longest no more than 2 minutes and 50 seconds and has a typical punk rock sound.
The guitars are hard and very fast, as is the drumming, which oozes bundles of punk energy, and the basslines are strong and solid. Being a live album, the listener can hear the energy coming from the band through the speakers, really making them think they are there in the room with them.
The vocals, undertaken by all three members, are raw and shouty, just as any good punk bands vocals should be and accompanying each other with back-ups that are in much the same vein, this really creates a brutal sound.
I can imagine the crowd at this gig, jumping around to this, and this is the effect it really should have on the listener. If you are not pogoing around by track three are you really a punk rock fan?
This is a great album that really shows the listener just what this band is about….and that is in your face punk rock!! With the sound and energy of early punk and the technicalities of modern-day punk this really is a band that should appeal to punk fans, old and new!
Check out Degenerates Of Punk and their music to see what you think about them and while you are at it check out other releases by DCxPC! You will definitely not be disappointed by either!
