Album number nine from San-Francisco sweethearts ‘Swingin Utters’ is a masterpiece of punk rock grit and passion.
‘Peace and Love’ tells stories of love, lust, life’s ups and downs and the odd characters that life brings to your doorstep.
Johnny, Darius and Jack have the kinda of voices that makes you sit-up and listen, with vocal melodies that dig in to your brain like Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, taking over your thoughts; who needs free thinking when you have catchy as hell vocal hooks swimming through your brain.
‘Peace and Love’ molds effortlessly the more melodic songs that Darius croons on with the more raucous punk rock that Johnny puts his growls too.
The Utters have been one of my favourite bands for many a year and they just keep getting better and better, they have a real knack for writing catchy sing-along anthems with a dark and twisted edge; ‘Peace and Love’ really doesn’t disappoint in this area.
