Review by Dominic de Souza

English Friday's latest album, Riots In Brixton Melodies, is a powerful and dynamic collection of songs that showcases the band's unique blend of punk, rock, and reggae influences. From the opening track, "Brixton Riot," to the closing ballad, "Goodbye My Love," the album is a non-stop barrage of catchy hooks, driving rhythms, and socially conscious lyrics.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Police Brutality," a scathing indictment of police violence and racism that features a blistering guitar solo and a chorus that begs to be shouted along with. Another highlight is "London Calling," a tribute to the city that inspired the band's sound and ethos, with lyrics that celebrate its diversity and resilience.

Throughout the album, English Friday demonstrate their musical prowess and political engagement, blending genres and themes to create a cohesive and compelling musical statement.
