2nd District – Poverty Makes Angry

Members of District and The Revolvers got together and – very originally – called themselves 2nd District. The result of that fusion can be heard on “Poverty Makes Angry”, an album that’s about as original as the band name.

Buzzcocks and Sex Pistols are the main influences on here. At least when the band is not trying to go all poppy on our ass in songs like “Only One”. Some people might like this, personally I’ve never been too keen on the Sex Pistols. And I most definitely don’t want to hear some German dude give away his best Johnny Rotten impersonation. Yes, that is including the accent. Plus he sounds like he had a puff of helium before heading into the recording booth resulting in one incredibly annoying voice. So annoying even that I couldn’t pay much attention to the music.
Score: 4 out of 10
