Album Review: The Basics - In The Rude!

Damn The Basics are fun, and a little rocky and racy.

So Hard For You has just enough double entendre to justify one more beer before closing, while there's a glorious punk meets The Police edge to Bitten By The Same Bug.

Like any good live recording, there's just enough room buzz and audience noise to make it feel like you're there, and the one-take wonders like With This Ship and Have Love, Will Travel impress greatly. Hang in for the encore after Yeah Yeah, Home Again and Rattle My Chain, complete with a little banter and confessions about no rehearsals - charming as, too.
