ARTHRITIC FOOT SOLDIERS
"Only
Beer Can Save Us Now" (Voltage; 2006)
Reviewed by Mike SOS
Three chords, a brew, and the truth -- that seems to be the mantra for this UK outfit and their alcohol-fueled punk rock on this half-live, half-studio nine track affair.
Showcasing an authentic punk rock scowl and bratty sneer and stocked with pint-raising numbers like "Nobodies" and "Anarchy in Argos," this hardened outfit's mission statement and delivery are dead-on for anyone that likes their punk rock raw, simple, and above all, honest.

Rating Guide:
A classic. This record will kick your ass.
Killer. Not a classic but it will rock your world.
So-so. You've heard better.
Pretty bad. Might make a nice coaster.
Self explanatory. Just the sight of the cover makes you wanna hurl.
