The Detonators "My World" Destiny Records, Cat no. Destiny-153
Release date: 30 August 2013
Running time: 33:44, 11 tracks
“My World” is the follow-up to The Detonators “R’n’R Keeps Me Alive” EP. The guys from Vojvodina have put aside the rockabilly and/or psychobilly influences and have pushed forward the Social Distortion infused material adding more Clash drops via Rancid.
One thing is clear: The Detonators are a Rock’n’Roll band. With a folk twist, but a R’n’R band. They told it clearly, “R’n’R Keeps Me Alive”, and most of the tracks deal with classic R’n’R topics: highway, trucks, driving, girls, beer, being in a band …
The songs to check out: “Let’s Go”, an opening track in the Rancid vein, “My World”, with their Mick Jones style guitar work, “Far Away”, a R’n’R à la Social Distortion, “Away from Home”, rockabilly with some Rancid touches, “Hey Baby”, a catchy number, “Kings & Queens”, a complaint about modern society with a Pogues background and “A Word or Two”, a song about friendship moving to the Dropkick Murphys end.
Another thing that I would like to point out: the artwork and packaging. The front and back cover drawings are amazing, and the digipack packaging is a real labour of love. All the lyrics and credits are included.
If you like Rock’n’Roll backed with accordion and mandolin, the English band The Devil’s Rejects stuff or Manu Chao’s R’n’R numbers with The Hot Pants and Mano Negra, then get this album and don’t miss The Detonators shows. BTW, they will be touring Spain in March, playing at the Saint Patrick’s Day Festival at Gruta 77 in Madrid.
