ALBUM REVIEW: Mad Daddy – Mad Daddy (self-released)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mad Daddy<\/strong> are a four-piece from the Isle of Man who play high octane rock ‘n’ roll punk blues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Formed in 2015, they have three EPs to their name, and this is their all-killer, no-filler debut album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mad Daddy are Dolyn Clucas-Morris (vocals and harmonica), Liam Callow (guitar), Elvis Palooka (bass) and Matt Twist ( drums).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their influences range from old blues and rock ‘n’ roll like John Lee Hooker and Link Wray through to The Stooges, Ramones and Motorhead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And of course let’s not forget The Cramps, whose song gives them their name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"mad
Mad Daddy take their name from a song by The Cramps.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Garage-punk, rockabilly, call it whatever you like, it’s a tasty slice of sleazy, pedal to the metal rock ‘n’ roll, and I bet they’re great live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They sing about impressing girls, getting wasted, being an outsider and part of a gang, among other R&R cliches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it’s tongue in cheek, and Mad Daddy manage to pull it off with real panache, making for a hugely enjoyable album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things kick off with the swaggering, harmonica-doused Give It To Me<\/em>, and the pace doesn’t let up as they dive into Just You Wait (And See)<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
