Roger Miret is a bit of a punk legend who was born in Cuba, and raised on
the streets of New York and got into punk music at the early age of thirteen.
He also used to fight dogs, went to prison for ferrying drugs and has released
many albums since with his bands Agnostic Front and The Disasters. Now The
Disasters have just released their third album 'My Riot' upon us.
The bands sound is a mixture of street punk, and dare I say a little
bit of pop-punk. To be honest the themes on this album are very un-original,
it’s all things we have heard before such as fast cars, riots, skinheads
etc.
The album starts off with 'Warning! Warning!' and the opening riff starts
off pretty similar to something from Green Day. 'Roots Rockin' Roll' sounds
more poppy than it is punk with its fast sing a long sound. 'My Riot'
starts off with a great riff and Roger Mirets vocals come in sounding
pretty raw and rough just like punk rock should be. 'Noho Soho' seems
to go back to the fast poppy-punk sound. Track 5 'Ramones' is a fun track
with some great guitar work at the start and some fast sing a long lyrics
throughout.
Track 10 'fuck You' is just a pointless fifty second assault of the F
word which finishes with chants of 'Fuck You' the songs not big or clever.
To be honest I’m not overly impressed with this album as I feel
like I have heard it all before and the band cant make there mind up if
they want to be a hardcore punk band or a pop-punk band.
2/5
