Much to my pleasant surprise, I discovered that “Sorry Simon” had a music video! It’s interesting – and definitely worth a look.

Check out the video below and let me know what you think!

Stay true,

To be honest, I couldn’t help but smile when I played this album. From the very first track (Snocker Snog & Shag,) I was rockin’ out in my room. The chorus is repetitive, but memorable – and not so monotonous that you want to switch to the next song.

The title track keeps with the theme of the album and offers rad guitar riffs that really set the mood. What’s more, Dolly Dongel’s backing vocals add a certain element to the song that makes you want to keep listening.

After listening through the entire album, my favorite song would have to be “Sorry Simon,” the fourth track on the album. Not only was it the first song that gave me a taste of what Jonny Dongel was all about, it has an awesome guitar opening. Plus, with lyrics like “I won’t fall for your ploy, for your sick and twisted joy, I know I’m not your idol, Sorry Simon,” it’s a catchy song that forces you to sing along.

“Mighty Irish” couples traditional British punk influences with Celtic punk sounds (think The Clash coupled with Flogging Molly.) It’s a decent song, and arguably the most unique on the album.

The rest of the album plays nicely, but the remaining tracks all sound very similar to one another. Not that that’s necessarily a bad thing – Jonny Dongel knows what works and offers a solid album punk fans can (and should) quickly add to their list of favorite CD’s.
