A group of teenagers from Denmark sound like they stepped straight out of the early 80s with the masters from a long lost post-punk classic under their arms and subsequently are hailed as the "next big thing" by the music press, even though their sound was the next big thing 30 years ago. Anyway, hype and backlash aside, "New Brigade" really is a fantastic record and is kind of mind boggling in how authentically post-punk it all sounds. It's like these guys have never listened to anything other than This Heat and Wire, which is perfectly fine by me. Frankly I hope these guys really are the next big thing, because I haven't heard a record sound this urgent in years. "White Rune"
