The Grit’s last album “Shall We Dine?” was a fun release and I was wondering what this London-based outfit would come up with next. Two years later they’re back after a whole lot of touring with “Straight Out The Alley”.
On their sophomoric album they’ve added Charlie Boy on acoustic guitar and while they were at it, decided to throw in a little brass, a ukulele and a mandolin here and there. The result is a matured version of “Shall We Dine?” and an excellent mix of ska, psychobilly, country and – of course – punk. You can hear these guys having a good time, regardless of whether they sound like Flogging Molly (“Cast Ya Mind Back”) or a fierce punkrock band (“Lunatics”).
Fans of Dropkick Murphys, The Briggs and Street Dogs should pick this up without batting an eye!
Score: 7.5 out of 10
