ONE WET NUN - PUNKS NEVER TASTED SO FOUL
An underproduced CD here that somehow escapes a drubbing due to an innocent sound and unaffected manner. Don't expect any blasting sonic typhoons or reverberating riffology - this is simplistic skank with a living room production that gets by on sweet melody and cute guile alone.
The unemotional robotic vocals and shallow sound of 'End Oi' commence the five course meal and it is an adequate enough piece that improves with each listen. The 'Oi, OI' chant is a bit out of place as regards volume levels but the track survives.
'I've Got A Cadillac' pursues with a solid opening that abruptly morphs into the delightful tinkle of ska guitar which promises oodles of potential. A nice bass line adds choice seasoning and I expect the song to be great live viewing.
The rusty guitar and swaying lyrics coupled with the stop/start chorus works well for track 3, namely 'Doggy'. The coffee table skank attack is smooth, casually paced out and neatly timed thus completing a pleasing all round construction.
The last two tracks are the best with the excellently cruising approach to 'Matt Robbed Budd' being a chosen moment to reflect on One Wet Nun's musical adeptness. Definitely one of the bands fortes is to develop the relationship between light floating upstrokes and harder mid-range riffs as well as indulging in cheeky rap style lyrics. It is a difficult trio of sounds to master and harmonise but when caught right it certainly gets the best out of this crew.
'Groovy Lemon Pie' is a paradoxical vicious snipe that drifts on a lazy river of melody but again the contrast is catered for and the song does indeed work.
Summing up it is obvious this CD is a fledgling effort but still gets the vote of confidence for its easy listening attributes and silky ska moments. Definitely worth a peek.
