Different Class is a........  

very good album but This is Hardcore is a more rewarding listen (particularly if you're in a bad mood) - in fact I think its their best album.....

[brennser]

oh and while I'm not actually listening to them at the moment I stumbled across a closing down 70% off sale at Sam Goody in Friendship Heights today and picked up the Steve Earle Just an American Boy , Howie Day Madrigals CD/DVD (I figured if he's playing with Stereophonics I might as well listen to some of his stuff) and Leona Naess Leona Naess for only $15 - not too shabby

Brennser, tell me you're not Mark Jenkins.  I so disagree with so many of his reviews....and he's so conceited.

 First time on cd.  Any fans of Shane MacGowan (are you listening Mankie?) will definitely want to have a copy of this.  It's only ten songs at about 28 minutes, but hearing Shane do punkabilly is well worth the price!

i concur, saw them on the different class tour and there are few better front men than jarvis.  the band really lost a critical element when russell thier violin player left the group.  of course it didn't help their us popularity when they played only a handful of us dates to promote "this is hardcore" one of them being the tibetian freedom concert.

I've always known them as a late 70s Punk band. Of course, you can refine their category as a number of different classifications. A lot of the very early Punk bands did get their roots from Garage or 60s Mod or Psychedelic music, without all of the refinement. Also, a lot of very updated British Folk music without the fancy old instruments.

Here's the review for the cd from the January 2004 Mojo....
 
 First time on CD for the only ten tracks recorded by Shane MacGowan and Shanne Bradley's late '70s punkabilly barnstormers, plus two unreleased.
 
 Any band calling themselves The Nipple Erectors were hardly looking for national airplay, and yet both sides of their 1978 debut single, King Of The Bop/Nervous Wreck, were some of the most joyous noises on John Peel's show that year.  According to the tabloids, hacks, punks and Teds, were only supposed to beat each other up down the King's Road, but this mob wore drape jackets and owed as much to the likes of Gene Vincent as they did the Pistols.  Shortening the name to the Nips, they managed two more singles, including the fine Louie Louie - influenced Gabrielle, before splitting - Bradley to The Men They Couldn't Hang, and MacGowan to a band called Pogue Mahone.  The authentic sound of the Roxy generation and not a Situationist in sight.
 4/5 Stars
 
 I've had the original 8 song compilation on vinyl for a few years now.  Personally, I think 'punkabilly' sums it up pretty good.
