Barely 18 months on from their last blast of righteous punk’n’roll, West Country warriors Split Dogs are back and still, as that album had it, Here To Destroy. This time, their choice of title is marginally less accurate, as Nice N’ Rough finds them sounding slicker than before in terms of both songwriting and production quality. Has this watered down the raucous energy of their rightly-acclaimed onstage incarnation? Has it fuck.
Nope, the denim-clad riff attack and turbocharged rhythm section sound just brilliant on irrepressible bangers like Born Too Loose and Get The Look, plugging into a boogie-fuelled tradition that takes in glam rock, Status Quo, old-school punk and AC/DC in roughly equal measure. And singer Harry Martinez sounds brilliant here, the spiky melodies and undisputed attitude of their vocals cutting through with emphatic power.
