RECORD REVIEW: Charger \u2013 Charger (Pirates Press Records)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve got to hand it to Rancid; when\nthey\u2019re not being one of the most successful punk bands on the planet, its\ncomponent parts certainly know how to channel their creative energies into other\nprojects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tim Armstrong and Lars Frederiksen\nhave their own bands, as well as being respected producers,  and now it\u2019s the turn of bassist Matt Freeman\nto show he can turn his hand to other things too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s already had one side project,\nDevil\u2019s Brigade, who released what appears to be a one-off album back in 2010.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now he\u2019s back with a new band, after\nteaming up late last year with drummer Jason Willer (from Jello Biafra\u2019s\nGuantanamo School Of Medicine) and guitarist Andrew McGee to form Charger in\nthe Bay Area of California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Charger are the new band formed by Matt Freeman, bassist with punk legends Rancid.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This is their debut EP, available on\n12in vinyl, CD, cassette and as a digital download, and despite weighing in at\njust 19 minutes, it\u2019s a formidable record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a mix of fast hard rock, metal\nand punk, and I knew within 20 seconds of opener Crackdown, when the guitars\nkicked in, that I was going to like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charger\u2019s sound is clearly influenced\nby Metallica, Thin Lizzy, Iron Maiden and a bit of Judas Priest, but one\ninevitable comparison stands out from the wonderful noise emanating from the\nspeakers \u2013 Motorhead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freeman takes on main vocal duties,\nand his deep and raspy voice is like listening to Lemmy reincarnated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s not a bad track among the\nseven here, and it\u2019s hard to pick a favourite, though Victim, full of juicy\nriffs and with a hint of Ace Of Spades about it, probably shades it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you like your rock served hard and fast, you\u2019ll love this record, and want to hear more of Charger. 9\/10.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
