Ouch! There's no time to blink, and Nana's Revenge launch into a musical tirade which seems to be about getting a record deal, making it in the music biz, blah de blah. "Rigor Mortis" is a truly interesting moment – it's an ooky spooky ditty that could be background music for The Munsters. It's quite fun, and gives a nice diversion from the nu-punk thrashy sound they've got going. "Home And Away" is another energy-charged pogo-tastic ditty, while "I Never Knew" is an angry protest song against, well anything you care to pin up onto a dartboard really.
They played GuilFest this year, which can't be bad, and shared the stage with bands including Failsafe, Random Hand, Captain Everything, Jesse James, and 4ft Fingers. Clearly influenced by the skater punk sound, they're energetic and feisty, but they need to rely on a bit more than angst to take them the extra mile. Not bad though.
