It's probably my favorite album of 2012 but I refuse admit it. :-) The point is it's the album released in 2012 that I listened the most and I'm not tired of it. Listen it few time more for commenting it was still a refreshing listening. I refuse admit it's my favorite album of 2012 because my brain tells me that the tracks are too similar and reuse too much similar tricks. Moreover the first place in my 2012 favorite list is already taken by an album that I consider a masterpiece, and for the listening duration it's clearly the album I listened the most because it's a double album, White Fence - Family Perfume Vol. 1&2.
Among all stuff I ever listened this Ex-Cult album is the closest to The Ruts album, The Crack released in 1979 which is probably among the albums that I listened the most. And because of the singer premature death it generated a frustration to not have any follow up. The Ex-Cult album is faster, more violent, more dirty, more savage but it's exactly what was needed to reproduce a roughly similar feeling for an album released 33 years later. Anyway, despite tracks seem a bit similar in part because the music is lost into a lot of violence, dirt and garbage, it's a great Garage Punk album, for me it's a date.
To listen: I noticed streaming sites like Deezer, Rdio or Spotify. Or 115k vbr v6 preview.
To support the artists: Buy the vinyl or CD at label shop. Or the digital on the various standard places.
Where all of this is going if nobody buy the music? Be fair, buy the music you like dig.
