Unsatisfied

You can’t but hark back to the days when Ash made good punky pop music. But thank goodness for the fantastic Nine Black Alps. The Manchester boys possess the same youthful energy which Tim Wheeler and company used to churn out at the drop of a hat.
‘Unsatisfied’ is trademark stuff from their armoury of viciously melodic tunes. It’s as if they’ve taken Teenage Fanclub, Nirvana and The Pixies and mashed them into a slice of pure punk-pop heaven. A much-needed relief from the current stream of '80s synth-revivalism.
