Vanity - Vain In Life

Katorga Works

 

Vanity is a two-men project between Colman Durkee (CREEM, Nuclear Spring, Natural Law) and Evan Radigan (The Rival Mob, Raw Meat, Wolf Whistle) that kicked it off last year with a three song cassette for Rock 'N' Roll Disgrace Records and Traitor Execution. Now, when 2014 is about to end, Vanity returns with their first full-length album "Vain In Life" for Katorga Works and pardon my French, it's fuckin' killer!

 

As you might have noticed both Colman and Evan, as well as their label Katorga, are better known for their hardcore releases, but Vanity... let's cut the crap here, is straight up Skrewdriver '77-all the way up to '84-era worship (oh shit, I can forget about the label sharing this review now) without the racial and supremacist bullshit they got swayed into (maybe I’m safe now). Raw British proto-/’77 punk, tough New York City streets' rock 'n' roll thrills and vicious sounding Oi! go hand-in-hand on this, fuck it, masterpiece of twelve underground kicks!

 

So if you are a ‘Chiswick’ lovin’, Lords Of The Sword thuggin’ member of the bovver brigade cop this, you will be anything but disappointed with “Vain In Life”! Rough, primal rock ‘n’ Oi! you skins, punks, bootboys and hooligans will love… Sick record!
