Backtalk - Where The White Kids Play

Review by Scott Warren

Backtalk's album, Where The White Kids Play, is a lively and energetic collection of punk rock anthems that will have listeners bouncing off the walls. The band's raw and unapologetic sound is reminiscent of classic punk bands like The Clash and The Ramones, but with a modern twist that sets them apart from their predecessors.

The album kicks off with the hard-hitting track "Tear Me Apart", which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The driving drums and catchy guitar riffs are coupled with lead singer Jake McNeill's powerful vocals, creating a sound that is both aggressive and infectious.

Tracks like "Six Feet Under" and "Hollywood Nights" showcase the band's ability to write catchy hooks that will have listeners singing along in no time. The lyrics are often politically charged, tackling issues like police brutality and social inequality, but they are delivered with a sense of urgency that never feels preachy.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Punk Rock Girls", a tongue-in-cheek ode to the women who have inspired generations of punk rockers. The song is a perfect example of Backtalk's ability to balance humor with social commentary, creating a sound that is both fun and thought-provoking.

Summary by Scott Warren

Where The White Kids Play is a must-listen for fans of punk rock and anyone looking for music that packs a punch. Backtalk's raw energy and catchy hooks make this album a standout in the genre, and it's clear that this band is poised for big things in the future.
