I had never heard of this british band before, but I must say that it is apparently a rather recent one : indeed, this record is only their 2nd album. Well, this is a very good discovery ! CONTROL plays a very effective Streetpunk style, on the basis of a powerful, both energetic and melodic Punk Rock, with a big sound and an excellent production. That is actually the kind of music which might appeal to f classic Punk Rock fans, as well as to Streetpunk/OI! fans, without any doubt. Besides, they say they play "Hooligan Rock'n'Roll", and there's even a song that deals with the Skinhead, with a more than explicit title : "He's a Skinhead"... That said, I really enjoy the album title, it speaks for itself : "Punk Rock ruined my life...but I wouldn't change a thing". I could have said it myself, sure ! ^^ As for the lyrics, they're quite down to earth, and very "working class"-like, but they're rather well written. They're filled with social revolt, and deal with issues such as alienation by work, war and the army, violence in the modern world and so on. Besides, the booklet features not only all of these lyrics, but also 4 pages that explain each song. Good initiative. In short, I strongly recommend this album to you. Thanks to Step 1 Music for this remarkable release, I'm not disappointed.
