***** FREE ***** FREE ***** FREE ***** FREE ***** FREE ***** Proud & Punk It's reheated '77 punk with gang choruses, no more than three chords and English street punk vocals. "Proud & Punk" perfectly articulates the frustration, rage and dissatisfaction of the British working class with the British establishment during the late 70�s as if they were there. It�s easy to see how the band�s roaring energy, anchored with relentless full on rhythm guitar, no-nonsense drumming, and a singer that takes on the feel of the real fore-fathers of the British punk movement. I know it doesn't sound especially innovative anymore, at this stage of the fashion show, but it's not innovation, rather skillful assimilation and construction that counts with a band like Blunt. - by Jonny Taint on March 10, 2008 PunkRockReview.org
