Public Relations Exercise
- 'Maximiser Coordinator'
(Field)
|
|
|
| Leicester’s Public Relation Exercise bear the hallmarks of all the best truly alternative bands in recent history. Evidence comes in the form of this single which, across three tracks, bears resemblance to At The Drive-In, Blood Brothers and Refused. |

Clocking in at a cat’s whisker over a minute, ‘Maximiser Coordinator’ is a tight, angular track. Although discordant it never feels like Public Relations Exercise are out of control of proceedings and that in itself is an impressive achievement.
‘Sub 10’, sounds like Frank Turner in his Million Dead days joining the Blood Brothers to create anarchic hardcore pop music. For the unitiated of you, that's a very good thing.
In this reviewer’s humble opinion however, final track ‘Catalyst’ really shows the true talent and potential that lies within the ranks of Public Relations Exercise. Examples of pure, unhinged rock and roll are sadly all too rare these days and this track alone restores my faith that people are still out there creating brilliantly frenzied music.
Though by no means a finished article, Public Relations Exercise have set a very high standard for themselves to reach with their first album, scheduled for March. If they manage to surpass this high benchmark, they could very well be an early contender for Newcomer of the Year. |
