The Unknown "Still Unknown"

Finally after two years in the making the Unknown's third full length is released. 12 tracks from Ken, Wayne, Brian, and Chris guaranteed to keep you bouncing off the walls. Includes the songs "Puzzles," the new crowd favorite "Whether" (you know the one where Brian is screeming his ass off "heeeeeyyyyyy aaaaaaayyyyy), "Stare," "Self Control," and the new painfully poignant anthem "Still Unknown." "Quite how these guys are 'still unknown' is a total mystery to me, because so far as I'm concerned they are simply one of the best pop-punk bands around these days. They've got everything and more that a great pop punk band should have and that so many these days are lacking in - frighteningly addictive choruses and harmonies to die for, guitar riffs that are the epitome of catchy, bass-lines that both rumble and bounce in equal parts and underpinned by drums like a steam-train with a fire blazing. There are so many bands selling upwards of tens of thousands of records (do I really need to name and shame them?) that are churning out the same tired old crap, but THE UNKNOWN can still get me tapping, humming and swinging round on my swivel chair in sheer excitement that music like this can be executed so well. Take my advice, ignore what the music press tell you, ignore what the adverts say about the stadium punk bands and take a look a little deeper and you'll find bands like the UNKNOWN beating the best of them, and what's more doing it with style and for the pure love of it. This is total and genuine pop-punk fix in huge amounts. (RR) Fracture #7
