Blunt - Proud & Punk torrent

"Proud & Punk" perfectly articulates the frustration, rage and dissatisfaction of the British working class with the British establishment during the late 70s as if they were there. Its easy to see how the bands roaring energy, anchored with relentless full on rhythm guitar, no-nonsense drumming, and a singer that takes on the feel of the real fore-fathers of the British punk movement. I know it doesn't sound especially innovative anymore, at this stage of the fashion show, but it's not innovation, rather skillful assimilation and construction that counts with a band like Blunt.
