Good evening! Every now and then, an album comes along that makes you drop everything and this is one of them. “Brink of War” the long-awaited release from Disruptive Influence, is a ferocious punk rock album that is nostalgic and invigorating. This Bristol-based band delivers a raw and unapologetic sound that channels the spirit of classic punk from the ’70s and ’80s while staying rooted in the pressing issues of today. The album is a rallying cry for the frustrations of political turmoil, fake news and the struggles of modern working life.
With hard-hitting instrumentals and hook-laden melodies that demand attention, each track is a high-octane journey. The polished production and great mixing boost the band’s dynamic songwriting and powerful messages. What really makes this record unique is that it can tackle serious topics like political decay and global conflicts with a bit of tongue in cheek humor, striking a balance between outrage and fun. The album’s infectious energy is impossible to ignore and if you’re looking for an album that pushes boundaries, this is it.
It’s super hard to pick a favorite track, the whole album is polished and well crafted. This is the perfect way to end a day for me, it’s bold, meaningful, and full of rebellious spirit. I’ve been playing this record on repeat and it’s safe to say it’s a contender for album of the year. I love the raw emotion and can’t wait to see what Disruptive Influence has in store next.
