The clanging and chiming of the guitar in the short “Takaparawhau” is something that should have been placed first on the album, I feel, because it acts as sort of a clarion, a wake up call to us all for what is about to happen. The music has an urgent sound, the feel of warning of impending disaster.

The band has existed since 2005, and on this seventh full length LP, they’ve returned to their original lineup.
There’s nothing bad about this album, but it does seem to be a little too much like ordinary 80s rock and roll to me than punk or indie.ĭIE! DIE! DIE! – This Is Not An Island Anymore () Ominous is the first word that comes to mind upon listening to this new LP from the New Zealand trio. Standout tracks for me include the Blitz meets the Boss sound of “Dying to Feel Alive,” and the closing track, “The Last Song,” which has undertones of power pop in the melody. The choruses are big and the tunes are plenty raucous, but these songs sound like they would be more at home in an arena than a small sweaty dive. While Ann Beretta’s latest effort doesn’t fall into the trap of sounding too commercial and slick, it definitely shares more in common with working class rock and roll than the mix of pop punk and street punk of yore. Some crossed over into metal, others gravitated more toward an “alternative” rock sound. The songs still have a strong anthemic feel, and will get the crowds pumping their fists and singing along, especially the opening track, “The Sound of Revolution.” But I can’t help but think of punk bands from back in the 80s that evolved after the end of the hardcore era. But there’s more rock and roll than melodic street punk in this latest LP. It’s an evolution for the band, not so much a departure from their past sound. Their last new recording was way back in 2018 for Say-10 Records and Skateboards, and though the band was most well known as a late era Lookout! Records band, this time they’re releasing “Rise” independently. ANN BERETTA – Rise () Ann Beretta was most active in the late 90s and early 2000s, then emerged in the mid 2010s from a long slumber.
