CR Stuff....
A review :
As most folk on here already know... I'm not daft on tribute bands, I do occasionally enjoy them... Most of the time I'm disappointed. Anyway the first time I saw Combat Rock was maybe (I'm guessing) 15 years ago and I didn't know what to make of them, which is nothing unusual as that's my reaction pretty much every time I see a tribute band. I also saw them about 3 or 4 years ago and thought they were OK! (they had a stand-in that night). I thought some of the songs were excellent and some were poor. So a bit mixed.
Here is the but..... But the last twice I've seen them they have been off the scale fantastic!!!!! And I really mean Fantastic!!!!! They have added brass and keyboards which makes them stand out from the rest. Their version of one of my fave Clash songs Straight To Hell is something to see I'll tell ya... Any Clash tribute can do Janie Jones, Garageland and White Riot etc etc... These fuckers are doing Jimmy Jazz, Rudie Can't Fail, Train In Vain and Rock The Casbah, the full monty... "It ain't Coca Cola it's rice..."
So if you get the chance to see them, do it, go see 'em! If you book tributes? Fucking book them! They are excellent at what they do...
