Review

Poste 942 debut album – Long Play is a very cool and highly confident album indeed. Parts Classic Rock, Stoner Rock, Grunge and Hard Rock all combine for an album that is all about fun and action packed riffs.

The band take influence from AC/DC and they creat many similar sounds that legendary band is known especially with the riffs and vocals. The ablum does contain moments of punk rock vibes which appear on various stages of the album. Songs such as Color Of Red, Devil's Complaint, Whiskey, Pigs In Paradise and Breathe are perhaps the standout songs on the album. As the band move from Classic Rock to heavier Grunge sounds with relevant ease. 

The album does have moments of southern rock grooves merged with soulful blues rock that will soon get your foot tapping. The band have a very seedy and twisted sense of humour which is spliced throughout the lyrics held on the album. It shows you that Poste 942 know how to have fun. 

The production on the album is good for the most part. Though there are a few rough moments where the sound could have done with more work. As it sounds too quiet at times. Overall Long Play is a superb feel-good album with the band never out-staying their welomce. It's not themost groundbreaking album you'll ever here but it will keep you entertained for days to come.

Excellent and Highly Recommended.

Review:

Poste 942's new EP – Extended Play 2 – isn't the most original thing you'll ever hear but the band pull this with massive charm that you'll soon find yourself lost in the overall fun of it all. Poste 942 play a Punk/Grunge/Stoner Rock kinda sound though mixed with a cool and vibrant Retro Rock feel.

The EP only runs for 9 mins but it's huge fun and the guys know how to write a fast-paced Stoner riff where they put a lot of anger into the mix. Devil's Compliant is perhaps the standout track and it shows these guys have an ear for raucous melodies and spiky lyrics to match. Imagine if QOTSA were influenced by Punk Rock as this is the twisted result.

I do want to hear a more substantial release from the band in the future as 9 mins is not enough. It's too short to make a lasting impression of the band. Though for now they have my attention. Check them out.
