Title: Alternative Garbage
Product review: Produced by big-time indie recorder Steve Albini and punk legend Ian Mckay, 1997's "Punk Life" by English nobody's Alternative TV, is an orgy of high-pitch keyboard, free-form playing, distorted guitar, thrashing drums, a bouncy bass, and dazed, nasal vocals spewing out politically and socially topical lyrics. Sound familiar?Suprisingly even listed as an overt influence in other reviews of this artist, this album takes the formula of The Fall's "Live At The Witch Trials" debut and does a sub-par job recycling them. Don't buy that this is genre-bending, hip-hopping sugarcane for your ears. Infact if you buy anything, let it be "Live At The Wich Trials" which is by margins better if you're interested in this, and for further listening "Country On The Click," the 2004 Fall release picks things up right where they left off...under the name "The Fall."(...)
