If you’ve been living under a rock and haven\u2019t heard about the thriving punk scene that exists in Chiba, Japan then check out the excellent Private Scandal fanzine. Based in Corby, United Kingdom, Private Scandal also put out the occasional CD-R the latest of which is The Mr\u2019s You Are Just R&R Backer<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Opening to a wall of glorious feedback Eat My Head<\/em> is the raucous opener that finds The Mr hitting the ground running to deliver the perfect slab of punk rock. It’s a musical tornado that’s sure to pull the unwary into its swirling vortex which is full of angular guitars, call back vocals and detonating drums. If that all leaves you a bit dizzy then hold on tight because Kick & Kick<\/em>\u00a0follows hot on its heels. Rolling along on a bed of chromatic scales it\u2019s a skateboarders dream and seems tailor-made for half pipes and backflips.<\/p>\n

Reminding of Black Flag\u2019s Nervous Breakdown<\/em>, both sonically and energy-wise, Communication Me<\/em> contains all sorts of goodness and delivers them with a series of punches to the solar plexus. With no signs of slowing down, Tonosama<\/em> has a slightly 50\u2019s rock n\u2019 roll vibe but it\u2019s delivered in The Mr\u2019s own inimitable style. Like Generation X performing King Rocker<\/em>…only amped up to 11, Tonosama<\/em>\u00a0hasn\u2019t come to take prisoners.<\/p>\n

Film<\/em> is the type of punk song that dreams are made of and there\u2019s something about it that suggests you randomly smash up your surroundings. Backr<\/em> (subtitled Chiba old age rocker fuck off!!) is a brutal piece of music that contains lots off sonic shifts that\u2019ll make the musical uncouth queasy before Cheap<\/em> brings this set to a furious conclusion in a 90-second blast off fury.<\/p>\n

Originally recorded in 1996, You Are Just R&R Backer<\/em> finally gets a physical reissue and comes highly recommended for punk purists.<\/p>\n
