On first listen to this album it’s hard to treat it as a different band as Less Than Jake as the first thing that comes to mind is that Rehasher are Less Than Jake but with the horns taken away. This is definitely not the case though – as you listen to it more you begin to release that the band are much more than that sand are very different indeed to Less Than Jake. Rehasher play Punk Rock stripped down to its rawest possible form and come out smelling of roses. This is definitely a very strong album and even though it is only 24 minutes long – there is plenty to keep you entertained.
If you are a fan of bands like NoFX then the chances are that you are going to love Rehasher as they definitely have that kind of feel about their music. It is raw, fun, and the perfect kind of music to skate to. The band seem to have so much energy – it is truly unbelievable and a joy to listen to as they hurtle through their tracks with a hell of a lot of style, flair, and attitude. You just can’t help but enjoy listening to this band – fun and enjoyment seems to radiate from their music and will have you in party spirit in no time at all.
The CD comes to an impressive end with the bands cover of ‘Suffragette City.’ In true Rehasher spirit the band speed through this track with immense passion and you can really feel that they believe in what they are singing about. They are definitely a band who take music seriously and are doing it because they love it, not to make a few quid out of it. This track absolutely oozes excitement, and every single second of this track is action packed with never a dull moment. In fact, every track on this CD has the same level of high spirit – but this track just really does it for me as when it finishes you are expecting another track to come as bands usually finish with a slow paced track. Definitely not Rehasher – they end the CD in the only way they know how, with a fast paced, exciting Punk Rock track of true greatness.
If you see this CD in the shops then make sure you buy it as even though it is extremely short – it will not leave you disappointed. You seem to forget about how short this album is because its just so great that you don’t really think about the time that has passed while you’re listening to the album, all you think about is how great it is. This may only be a side project band for the Less Than Jake singer but it is certainly no joke of a band – Rehasher are definitely serious and know just how to rock.
