Police Bastard - Confined
Distributed by Cargo October th
Cover Art by Birmingham's Mark "skinny" Orton
"Thought provoking monologues and confrontational
lyrics bring you on a cold doom laden journey of perpetual
war psychological mind control and disillusionment "
“The album starts with "The Curse Of The Cross" an anti theistic slice of brutality which leaves the listener
in no doubt that Police Bastard mean business You even get a quote from Richard Dawkins about teaching
the bible as fiction Musically they give us huge chugging riffs on "Brought To Our Knees" which tackles the
blandness of multi national companies infecting the high street set against the backdrop of the widening
gap between rich and poor For those that like their anthems loud and stompy "Sick Sick System" will no
doubt win a seal of approval with its knock about Punk mayhem and catchy refrain 'sick sick system same
old bullshit' Elsewhere on the album we get subjects as diverse as being captivated by virtual reality (Word
Confined) and environmental disaster from the hand of mankind (Cries From The Earth) Album closer
"Fortress" sees organised religion attacked once more and poses the question how long before it crumbles ”
