If\nyou want to fall in love with a young band who play modern punk with\nreal old-school passion, look no further than Aerial Salad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Formed in Manchester in 2016, the three-piece burst onto the scene the following year with their excellent debut album\u00a0Roach, which made it onto many critics\u2019 end of year \u2018best of\u2019 lists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now they’re back with a follow-up, and although it’s short but sweet \u2013 nine songs weighing in at just 26 minutes \u2013 it’s all killer and no filler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you haven’t heard them, imagine a band brought up on Green Day and Blink-182, and add a big dose of brash ’77-style punk attitude, complete with Rotten-like sneering vocals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Singer\/guitarist Jamie Munro, bassist Mike Wimbleton and drummer Matty Mills have come up with one of THE punk albums of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whereas Roach was the raw, exciting sound of a band thrilled to have made a record, this is them growing into their own skin, and really starting to express themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opening track Virtue<\/strong> starts as they mean to go on, with swaggering guitar and driving rhythm section, and it’s followed by lead single Romance<\/strong>, about being in love with someone you can’t have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
