Help She Can’t Swim – Hospital Drama (Fantastic Plastic)
3/5
By: Dan Monsell
Once again, these Brighton-based electro noisenik pop punkers unleash an aural blast measuring a firm ten-out-of-ten on the energy scale, and maintaining the bubblegum speedball angst that only they do so well.
This time around we get the driving power of the MC5 combined with a spooky night on the tiles with the Misfits; all brought strikingly up to date with some Casio power riffs, giving us that sign of the times. While HSCS must continue to question why their own brand of frustratingly before its time electro-punk didn't propel them into the realm of the colossal, they've continued to release interesting new wave punk-rock records, relentlessly gigging and building a strong and loyal fan-base.
If getting so messed up in a van traversing this fair land makes a sound this fun, then lets hope this electrotastic foursome have got the stamina to continue, at the very least for the sake of the music.
