Broken
Bones

"F.O.A.D." CD
F.O.A.D, the second and arguably, best album by Broken
Bones fused the ferocity of debut, Dem Bones with
an added sense of ferocity, melody and power, to become of one
of the most important 80s punk rock albums. Taking the punk
rock blue print that was ingrained in their souls and adding a
touch of the rising thrash metal movement, it became legendary
in that it was and is widely regarded as one of the first Crossover
records, and along with DRI, Broken Bones pioneered a movement
whose fledgling steps gave rise to both the modern hardcore and
metal scenes. Being half studio and half live, F.O.A.D
showed a band equally comfortable in both worlds, from the opening
riff happy salvos of F.O.A.D and Teenage
Kamikaze, through to the incredible live set recorded at
the Fulham Greyhound, the album sounds as fresh and vital as it
did when it was first recorded nearly twenty years ago and puts
ninety nine percent of modern so-called punk rock, hardcore and
metal records to shame. For the first time, the Never Say
Die 12 has been included as bonus tracks, a record
which further highlighted the bands incredible sense of melody,
power and rabid energy, which along with FOAD has been re-mastered
from the original tapes, upping the Broken Bones ante once more,
and with full lyrical accompaniment (thats what a CD booklets
for right?) being included for the first time, prepare to sing-a-long,
be loud, be proud and be punk. Sit back, relax, tune in, drop
out, press play and prepare to be blown away. It really was and
is this good
