The Generators- Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea
released July 13, 2010 on People Like You Records
The Generators were formed in 1997 with members of defunct band Schleprock and this is their ninth full-length release. The album opens with “Sound Off The Alarms”, which is a dose of fast street punk with a bit of a Stiff Little Fingers feel to it. Highlighted tracks include “Every Waking Moment” (similar in style to Pennywise), “Day Of Reckoning” (one of the stronger tracks), “Same Old Day”, “Somewhere In The Rain” and “Trainwreck”. Honestly, all tracks are well-done and easy to listen to. Their sound obviously has matured but in the process, they haven’t lost a step. I did detect a strong Pennywise influence in more than one song but that’s not a bad thing. It’s one of the better releases this year and I’m always looking for bands that play straight-forward street punk as it’s my favorite style. Check out this album!
