Glueball are UK Speed Punkers – and for what they are they are pretty good. They play fast Punk Rock, and do it with style. I really don’t see why they’ve been sharing the bill with [spunge] recently because they’re really miles apart in terms of sound, and I’m pretty sure that the majority of Ska Punk fans would not appreciate the music that Glueball make.
As I’ve already said, Glueball are pretty good at what they do, this album at just under 22 minutes in length though is almost too long as there’s only so much of the same fast Punk Rock that you can take at a time. I feel that if they had done any more and hadn’t chosen to close the album with a 37 second stormer of a finishing track then this album would soon get boring. Thankfully it wasn’t any longer and it doesn’t get boring, but I guess what I’m trying to say is – Glueball aren’t the kind of band that you could sit down admiring for hours because after a while there music would just start to piss you off.
If you are a fan of Speed Punk then you should probably check this out as Glueball are quite amazing and are definitely a good Hardcore outfit. Try checking this band out when they tour at the end of April with Phinius Gage and Streetlight Manifesto – that’s sure to be an awesome tour with such a great line up of varied, yet in their own rights equally enthralling bands.
