SPITTING IMAGE “Full Sun” reviewed at Thoughts Words Action!
“Full Sun is not another typical punk rock album. You will notice that detail as soon as you put a needle on this vinyl record. Spitting Image combine several subgenres to depict bright sonic imagery that probably comes the closest to post-punk sound. Besides the fundamentals of post-punk, you’ll notice how these folks embrace heaviness and aesthetics of noise-rock, but they don’t stray from the indie path either. Of course, there are some classic punk rock dynamics, art-punk virtuosities, and even some similarities with something garage rock, deathrock, or psych-punk would eventually implement onto their releases. All these beforementioned sonic ingredients are solely responsible why Full Sun sound so fresh, diverse, luxurious, and unique from scratch to finish. Some readers might think it’s way too many styles involved on a singular album, but Spitting Image unquestionably know what they’re doing because each composition perfectly fits in this sonic equation. You’ll also notice that these guys don’t lose balance and consistency. Quite the contrary, each upcoming song comes as a logical extension of a previous one.”
