The Independents - Into the Light

So, it has been 6 years since we have obtained new material from the legendary Independents and you may have forgotten how to listen to them. Step 1, get the freaking album! Step 2? Play said album at full blast and enjoy as they take you on a sonic journey that doesn't let up from the opening chords to the last! This album was worth the wait as it is a home run, touch down, goal (take your pick of sports reference that you prefer!) and I hope that they don't wait that long for the follow up. Evil Presly and Willy B deliver on the new material with something to prove as if it's a debut instead of an album released 20 plus years into their career. Looks like the hunger that drives them to create classic horror punk/ska songs is still with them all this time later and I'm glad for it! Standouts include the opener "Rise", "Corpses in the Rain", "Sound of an Angel's Wings", first single "Black Angel", "I've Waited", "Tsantsa Twist", "Baby Mine", "So Depressing", "Until" and the title track "Into the Light". So be good and support this legendary independent band (like the pun?) so that we can have more good music to drown out the god awful stuff people pass off as art!
