Perth melodic punk rock five piece, Burning Fiction deliver their third release to date in that of a new 6 song 10inch. When I threw this record on for the first listen, I immediately thought of Irrelevant, as these songs have a comparable structure and delivery to them. Sadly not many bands are pursuing this sort of sound of late, feeling the need to over compensate with guitar wankery or heavier parts. BF keep things predictable and there are no cringe worthy surprises or experiements that pop up.The sound of this record is a little bit raw around the edges at times which adds to the appeal, rather than pursuing the common prcatice of over production. If you like solid melodic punk rock then give this a listen.
