Review by Kâmil VARINCA

Press Gang Metropol's self-titled album is a powerful and dynamic offering that showcases the band's unique blend of punk, post-punk, and new wave influences. From the driving rhythms of "Constantly Changing" to the haunting melodies of "The Last Exit," each track on the album is a testament to the band's talent and creativity.

The album's production is top-notch, with each instrument and vocal track given ample space to shine. The guitars are sharp and cutting, the basslines are driving and propulsive, and the drums are crisp and precise. The vocals, delivered with a raw intensity by singer/guitarist Andy Denton, are a standout feature of the album, conveying a sense of urgency and passion that is truly captivating.

Lyrically, the album is both introspective and politically charged, with songs like "The New Dark Ages" and "The Fear" addressing themes of social injustice and political corruption. The album's closing track, "The End," is a haunting and powerful meditation on mortality and the human condition.

About Press Gang Metropol

Created in 2006 by Christophe Baudrion (bass player) and Franck Amendola (guitarist) then followed in 2010 by Sébastien Pietrapiana (singer) and Eric Chabaud (drummer) in 2009, Press Gang Metropol finds its inspiration in 802s new wave (Joy Division, New Order, The Cure, The Sound, Depeche Mode&), and more recent rock/cold wave bands (Interpol, Editors, Nine Inch Nails &). In the 902s, Sébastien, Christophe and Franck were part of Corpus Delicti, gothic band which had an international fame, played all over the world, from Europe to America, sold thousands of records, and established a huge reputation with an echo even stronger today. In fact, the band became cult after its break up in 1996, thousands of fans following audio and video documents on the web, sharing their passion of these four french musicians. This interest led to the reissue of the 3 Corpus Delicti albums on the label M Tronic, and the release in October of a french official biography by the famous editor Camion Blanc. Before playing together again, all band members have tested different music landscapes: Sébastien revealed himself in his solo project Kuta (3 albums), playing with Mike Garson, David Bowies pianist: Franck created Curl (3 albums), John Callender, Cranes drummer taking part in the band: Christophe created Kom-Intern (5 albums), signed on the famous german label Hands.
