London’s Noah and The Loners follow up their debut single ‘Teenage Tragedy’ with the throwback punk anthem ‘Protest Anger’ via Marshall Records.
The jagged edges of Wilko Johnson’s playing on ‘Roxette’ are given a visceral IDLES makeover on this tale of political angst. Their polemic spits venom like the Crass and Minor Threat but, unlike their punk elders, there’s a sense of building from the ground up rather than smashing the system.
Noah Lonergan’s vocal is a snarling mesh of Polystyrene’s innocence and Joe Talbot’s righteousness as he unleashes the spirit of ’76 to a new generation of rebels! Accompanying it is Joseph Boyle’s scintillating punk-cum blues solo that brings early Dr. Feelgood and Chris Spedding to the edge of Mick Jones’ explosive genius.
