This is one hard rocking album which you’re gonna want to hear. It’s the shout of the empowered outsider, the battle call of the disruptive.

This is highly rhythmic, high-tempo, hard-driven, melodic oi-punk rock n’ roll which grabs at you & pulls you along from every direction.

Speaking as a Maritimer, there are at times an apparent East Coast flavour fused to the oi-punk core but the range of influence is certainly not limited to such. This album will appeal to energetic music fans of many-a-stripe.

The lyrics can’t be claimed to be comfortable; they are original and thought provoking; at times they are as catchy as can be.

This is a talented group of musicians who know music & know their instruments. There’s a remarkable tightness and rhythmic variability here, from which the tempo and loudness is an addition rather than a complication to their craft.

Plenty of great leads & transitions. Powerful undercurrents & regular but not overindulgent in-your-face moments on the bass. Sharp & aggressive song introductions on the guitar, with careful chord changes & pick-work throughout. Strong and clear lead vocals with backups, on-pitch. Drum work which ebbs & rises with masterful precision.

Depending on your stereo gear your results will vary but I’ve got the treble up to 80 and the bass up to 35 & all band members ring through. I wouldn’t claim that it sounds entirely refined but there is no mistake in hearing each instrument with clarity. This sounds great with headphones or pumping from the speakers.

2 songs in, I’m feeling amped up & ready to put aside any remaining inhibitions to hit the night streets, with massive attitude in tow. By the time Trafalgar hits in at track 5, the damn bursts & I know that there’s no turning back…

I doubt that you can handle listening to this without wanting to sing, dance, fight, fuck, or otherwise have a damn good time!

This is a loud album with a lot of depth and a ton of character. It’s gritty, it’s edgy, it’s fast & it’s fun. It might be fair to say that it’s also a musical affront to mediocrity and tame normalcy.

Out of Order are based out of Montreal, Quebec.

A limited edition 100 copy press run of white vinyl is available.
