Album Review: The Arteries - Dead Sea

DIY. It means a lot of things to a lot of people. It’s a term used both as a badge of an honour and as an excuse for a job not quite done as well as it could have been. The Arteries are a DIY band; they do their own artwork, book their own tours and put out their own records (with a little help from their friends). However they never once come across like they’re being anything else than what they are, namely a fucking great punk rock band

‘Blood Sweat and Beers’ was a great record, it had anthems a-plenty and breakneck riffs that were as catchy as they were hard hitting. However with ‘Dead Sea’, these South Wales boys have taken all that made their first record what it was and added a depth to it that makes this a contender for UK punk rock of the year. The first thing that grabs you is how the vocals really form the centre piece of this record. While lead singer Miles was no slouch before, he sometimes came across as a tad one dimensional. On ‘Dead Sea’ however he handles the more tender moments with as much adeptness as the flat out bangers. Just listen to the three head opening salvo of ‘Capture The Flag’, ‘Mutual Friends’ and ‘No Place Like Home’ for proof.

Live Review: Polar Bear Club, Shook Ones, Title Fight, The Arteries, Harbour - Newport, 17/02/10.

A five band bill tonight promises to deliver plenty of stage dives and sing-a-longs. First Harbour, a hardcore five-piece from Cardiff reminiscent of Dag Nasty and Minor Threat, then The Arteries, native to Swansea and playing a fairly heavy punk with diverse influences.

After this lovely Welsh starter, it's young prodigies Title Fight's turn to show what they're capable of, and with no surprise, they're capable of a lot. Their set puts everyone on the same wavelength: fat bearded guys with flannels, pin punks, emo nerds or hardcore kids, everyone seemed to be under the spell of the four kids from Kingston. Hit after hit, the pit goes up in flames for the band's melodic hardcore numbers, opening with the monumental 'Memorial Field' and its anthology breakdown, without forgetting the excellent 'Symmetry', and the desperate 'Evander'. Slow or fast, these kids rock hard and yet seem to be the humblest guys in the world, on the verge of shyness. Overall a great set that confirms, only good things can happen to this band. Definitely a band to keep an eye on.
