The Bordellos, Rock N Roll Is Dead. E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Life is a risk. That is the whole point, we cannot sit safely on a high chair being force fed the bland and beige through a sterile tube, occasionally deliberating a thought that might be considered controversial if we pursue it to its logical end, and then dismissing it if it should cause more than a ripple of offence. The trouble is that we all want to be liked, and we all want to live in a world that is friendly; a world where the dull, the routine, and the boring, are greeted as though they are the ministers and saints that hold court in the land of the righteous and the new moral guardians.

The Bordellos, David Bowie/ Be My Maybe. Single Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Everybody always imagines they can write a hit. In the same way that at a party someone will corner an author and inform them that they always wanted to write a book, invariably the same people will tell a musician, that they too could have been the next David Bowie, the next pop sensation or rock god. The truth is, yes, they could have done, but they are looking at it the wrong way round, the telescope of expectancy is pointed at the green grass rather than the industrial landscape behind.

The Bordellos, Crabs. E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Silently or with fanfare, you cannot but help fight the urge to scratch the lethargy and monotony of the usual suspects finding a way to get into every pore of your life; the usual grinning faces that look down upon you as if all you are is a social disease that is ripe for boiling and taking for all that you are worth, the meat devoured and the shell of your life discarded as if nothing good can come from hiding within your skin of armour.

The Bordellos, Debt Sounds. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

A particular school of thought always maintains, insists and is arguably right, that an album created does not have to conform to fashion, blinkered style or persistent convention; it is what the Punk ethic strove for, to prove that anybody could achieve anything if they had the ethos of passion, drive and someone to listen to them perform. It is drive that sets the way, without it, you may as well sit at home and just talk about doing stuff, placing your life on permanent hold, doing nothing and wishing you had at least, just once put your thoughts down in a Punk style.

The Bordellos, Underground Tape Vol 6. E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

To rely on the world being both benevolent and attention-grabbing is too ask whether it is right to leave the nuclear button in the hands of six month old, the baby may look cute but you know at some point that object in its young paw is going to be pressed and somewhere over the horizon a rather big flash is going to appear.

The Bordellos, How To Lose Friends And Influence No-One. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Authority without substance is overrated, it is meaningless, it means nothing and achieves only resentment and disaffection, authority without the will of the people is the daily open warfare and guaranteed manipulation of the masses, playing one of against the other; it is the best way, the only way to show How To Lose Friends And Influence No–One.

The Bordellos, Gary Glitter E.P. E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

The moment of shock, the element of surprise that is able to breathe inside the minds of those with imagination, is always such a treat to come across because most will only see the title of something without listening or reading beyond and whilst the name of the E.P. will quite rightly raise an eyebrow and even have some spluttering over their hard boiled tea, The Bordellos always have a way of turning the music on its head and coming up with a selection of songs that bite as well nurture the aural glands.
