AP Track Review
Listen to Upwardly Mobile (Ultimately Vile) by PINT + BLISTER, with it's jabs at the powers that be as well as relentless consumerism (and materialism) and you feel a touch of the Sex Pistols. Listen to the B-side: Why Won't You Love Me with it's rockabilly punk stance and you can feel hints of The Cramps. Both iconic bands held major sway in the mid 70's and throughout the 80's. PINT + BLISTER, a trio from Chester (England), with their feral spit in your face stance, chunky raw guitar stabs and wide eyed manic vocal style gleefully mine the best jagged punk sounds inspired by the 70's.

THE FACTS AS WE KNOW THEM - PRESS NOTES:
No nonsense rock and roll from this trio from Chester. Inspired by the spirit of 1976 and the dissatisfaction of modern music and life in general. Playing together as a three piece since March, PINT + BLISTER have already caused a stir in their home town of Chester and are branching out, infecting towns and cities with their tounge-in-cheek vocals, hard hitting guitar riffs and some powerful drum beats. This trio take up the stage (as well as every other part of the venue).
With their debut release, Angry Machine, the boys define themselves perfectly as a band inspired by the best of the 70's; loud, fast and up for a good time.
Upwardly Mobile (Ultimately Vile) shoves a middle finger in the face of vapid materialism and current politics. The lyrics parody the super-wealthy with lyrics dripping with sarcasm and vocals that repeatedly leap to falsetto in an almost squeaky way, adding a comedic element to the song. the guitar riffs take you back of the late 1970's and the drums push through to keep everything in order with a white-knuckle grip. All of this forms a snappy, cheeky track that smashes you in the face and leaves you with a bloody nose and a grin on your face.
