Rose Tattoo, Blood Brothers. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Paying homage to your own past is an art form that many cannot possibly emulate, no matter their success in previous times, something always hangs back, a moment of brilliance may be lost forever into the ether and stamp of approval that was hard fought for, becomes sadly less that illustrious, opening up to the possibility of anything that may hamper that sense of beauty, of punk filled anger and the fraternal and sororal bonding that occurs, in spirit, in the love and hold of Blood Brothers and blood bound sisters.

Rose Tattoo, Tatts: Live In Brunswick. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10
