	<body><![CDATA[Out of Darlington and York come Thatchers Bush. Somewhere in the musical territory inhabited by Back To The Planet, The Clash and Spanner, they have dubby influences rubbing up against their obvious interest in punk. This isn't to put them up as yet another skapunk copyist group, their style isn't that hackneyed. True, they're not overly original either, and the production is perhaps not as sharp as it could be, but when an 8 track album costs you as little as £3, then perhaps you can forgive the imperfections.
The dub element isn't a huge part of their sound, it's more a case of using it in the same way that a rock band would use an effect pedal - it just enhances their music. The punk side is more evident in their lyrics, honest views on politics, war and life with all its many facets. 
If I was to rate this album (which funnily enough I'm about to....) then I'd say it was worth a solid 7/10 if you have a taste for this type of music, but sadly only a 3/10 for commercial potential.]]></body>
