You know what’s awesome about joexstrummer? His description of this record from Rival Mob front man Brendan’s old band XFilesX is so great that I don’t have to write ANYTHING here. I can just post an excerpt and then encourage you to go read the rest for yourself. You won’t really learn the roots of The Rival Mob, but you’ll definitely get a kick out of it.
The first time I saw XFX, kids were wearing Jason Voorhees hockey masks and moshing with fake machetes and it was wild. I was PUMPED. I wish my friends were that much fun. At that point I think I wanted to trade in. JK. My friends were cool and moshed with REAL machetes.
