A bunch of drug-addled punk rockers kick down your front door, charge in flailing guitars above their heads, smash everything in sight and then run out onto the balcony screaming their heads off before jumping to their deaths eight floors below.
Yeah, that's the sound of Portuguese punkers The Parkinsons. The debut album, "A Long Way to Nowhere," is a rush of unpretentious, ultra-violent, amphetamine-fueled punk rock, the kind of thing you'd have thought died of a drug overdose in the late '70s.
It comes as little surprise that the album is produced by Jim Reid, the former singer of Jesus and Mary Chain, the legendary indie-noise merchants of the '80s, as the sound is so dirty and gritty it makes even Guitar Wolf sound overproduced.
