Pop Threat's debut album Filth is a gritty and intense offering that showcases the band's raw and unapologetic approach to music. From the opening track "Freak Show" to the closing "No Way Out", the album is a relentless assault of heavy guitars, pounding drums, and aggressive vocals that never lets up.
The band's influences are clearly evident throughout the album, with nods to punk, metal, and grunge, but they manage to create a sound that is uniquely their own. Standout tracks include "Sick Society", which features a catchy chorus that will have listeners singing along, and "Warzone", a blistering track that showcases the band's impressive musicianship.
Despite the album's rough edges, there is a sense of cohesion and purpose that runs throughout. Pop Threat clearly knows what they want to say and how they want to say it, and Filth is a powerful statement of their intent.
Early front for Darren and Caroline, owners of Squirrel Records and later founders of the Manhattan Love Suicides and The Blanche Hudson Weekend, augmented by Juliet (bass) and Mick (drums).
Filth is not for the faint of heart, but for fans of heavy, uncompromising music, it is a must-listen. Pop Threat has arrived on the scene with a bang, and they show no signs of slowing down any time soon.
