The Governor - LITFO - 7" Vinyl

Introducing The Governor. This metallic, thrashy little Birmingham outfit, also known as Laughing In The Face Of, have also hidden four tight as a gnat’s proverbial, pacey, old school HC-spirited tracks under a smokescreen of these knowingly dumb song titles. In all, this is a bit of a DIY belter. I can completely forgive song titles like “Cod Stewart” and “There’s Something Fishy About this Plaice” when a band nails out simple-as-fook bounce-along classic ‘core fare like this. Think Jailcell Recipes – only a lot younger and prettier – nudging into Gorilla Biscuits territory. With the odd gang chorus and guitar squeal, crisp lyrical content and clean delivery, this is nine minutes of shot in the arm positivism that gets in, does its business with a minimum of fuss and just says bye-bye. And leaves. The job being done. - Robyn Writes You can grab the latest Laughing In The Face Of record 'Here Lies Ordinary' on vinyl and CD bundled with The Governor and The Lubrication of Social Anxiety HERE.
