Backfire - My Broken World

posted by: David on 23 March 2012

GSR Music

Backfire! is back! The two exclamation marks in one sentence are a pretty good sign of how I feel about that fact. I think it’s great that the boys from M-Town returned to the stage where they belong. The songs on ‘My Broken World’ show that the band members still have what it takes.

Yes, the eurocore days are long gone. Yes, reunions are lame most of the time. Yes, the band sounds pretty much the same as they did a couple of years ago. But just listen to opening track ‘Broke Bruised And Bitter’ and tell me that you didn’t miss these guys. Who needs originality when you can just have fun?

Backfire! Recorded a Crowbar cover (‘Existence Is Punishment’) not because they think they can do it better than Kirk & co. but because they have fun playing it. They asked Dave Reumers from Right Direction and Hein Hendriks from Tech 9 not because Pat can’t handle the vocals by himself (on the contrary, he sounds great!) but because these guys like to have a good time with their friends. That’s the way I listen to this new album: 36 minutes of music made for a good time. Especially the title track and ‘This One Is For Us’ seem like crowd pleasers to me. Don’t expect anything new or you’ll be disappointed.

Nobody knows for how long Backfire! will continue to play shows, not even the band themselves. Let’s just hope we can witness a lot of great shows with these guys. I’ll be there this weekend when they officially release ‘My Broken World’. See you there!

Ik heb Wyb beloofd dat Backfire! de laatste review zou zijn. Lijkt me een passend einde voor Asice.
