The Brute Chorus – All The PilgrimsThe Brute Chorus – All The Pilgrims

The Brute Chorus have consistently produced music that makes me switch off. My previous exposure to them hasn't resulted in particularly positive reviews – however I think this latest release is the best of a bad lot. Compared to the others it seems to have found the perfect mix.

It's quite indie thrash rock, perhaps a glimpse of the White Stripes, with a filthy bass tone, simple crashing drums, and a vocal that for once, doesn't seem out of place. I'm going to throw this out there, that the Brute Chorus have redeemed themselves, because this isn't bad at all.

Despite the simple drums there's a good pace, and unlike previous releases it seems to remain within one genre for the song's entirity, fighting all the urges to go a bit mental.

Are times changing? Or is this the one worthwhile album track that gets a band to the top, only to realise then that the rest of the album is diabolical? I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

3.5/5
