This is kind of a split disc where you have the “Old Guard” and the “Young Upstarts.” In this case, both bands are from Wales. Picture Frame Seduction kicks it off. They’ve been around since the ‘80s and you can tell in their UK82 “charged hair and bullet belt” style. In 2008 it’s still sounding good. True Sounds Of The Revolution are the teenage band here, but they definitely sound more experienced that that. Though they have the same style as PFS, there is a slightly more youthful urgency to their songs. They’re more raw. Both bands here are worth checking out.
