ARK ‘Brainsold’ (Urban Pyramid 2002)
Not the prog rockers of the same name but a new band formed by ex-Fall
bassist Steve Hanley. The line-up consists of Pete Keogh (vocals), Paul A
Hanley (drums), Colin Burns (guitar) and Paul S Hanley (keyboards). Not a
lot to say about this album really - it is pop/punk and although played
well, the vocalist is average. The production is also slightly ‘tinny’ as
well. However, there are two good songs in there - ‘Tsars In Their Eyes’ and
‘The Hitman’. Both feature jangly guitar and driving drums, bit like the
Stranglers. Best leave this CD unless you are a Fall fan.
