The Dirty Youth– Red Light Fix CD (RMR Records)
First full length outing from the vibrant South Wales five piece. Comparisons with Paramore/The Pretty Reckless are probably inevitable but rather unfair. There’s a much harder edge to TDY, and Danni Monroe’s vocals have a bite to them which is missing from many of her contemporaries. Big production matches the big sing-along choruses and tales of drunken revelry, all bolstered up by some catchy hard rock riffing which will definitely appeal to the Marilyn Manson/Evanescence/MCR/Lost Prophets generation and more than a few old timers like me. Excellent stuff. Ian Pickens
