Review Text
With a grand total of three members and about the same number of chords, The Fallout have been slogging it out in the punk rock trenches for almost a decade now. As they say about themselves in the song "In This Land," they're "just another punk rock band" that's written "some songs, about protecting right and correcting all the wrongs." THE FALLOUT mix the early UK punk rock sound of STIFF LITTLE FINGERS with the later sound of LEATHERFACE and the more contemporary American sound of more-recent BAD RELIGION, SWINGIN UTTERS and the DUCKY BOYS. But it's not a chopped up replica of these bands and styles, the sound is very immersed and focussed. The songs are short and urgent, totally absorbed in a true punk rock spirit achieved only through years of devotion in the scene. Members of THE FALLOUT are firm believers in the do-it-yourself ethic; all material related to the band is 100% independently produced and assembled by themselves. 'D.I.Y is not waiting for the right time, place or circumstances to come along and take care of you. D.I.Y is making your ambitions happen right here, right now. We have no illusions about major label contracts. We don't want to make compromises on what we write and produce. In this day and age there is no reason you can't build your own following with the resources available to anyone.'
