Third World War - II
Vertigo Records (6325252) 1972. In excellent- condition.
"This political proto punk underground band played at the Oz Police Ball benefit for the Oz obscenity trial with Arthur Brown, Viv Stanshall, Pink Fairies, Egg, Roy Harper and Gnidrolog, but this group was different. They were singing about the rebels, the poor and uneducated people: the working class, the semi-skilled labourers, the yobos and the Hell's Angels. They were able to write excellent, sensitive melodies but in general their music and lyrics were ugly and real - like life itself.
For those who wanted their rock loud, brutal and violent Third World War was ready to give it to them, with all the explosive force of a hand grenade tossed into a pillbox.
Hailed by critics as fantastic, loud, exciting and full of power", they are fondly remembered as pioneers of British heavy metal. With Terry Stamp's guitar work well to the fore, they tore into their songs.
This their second album is better musically than their first, though the ingredients are similar. There's some good heavy rock'n'roll with fine guitar leads ("Yobo", "Urban Rock", "Rat Crawl"). The bluesy "Coshing Old Lady Blues" deals with Hell's Angels lifestyle, though not in the romantic Roy Harper way. The mellow "Factory Canteen Mews" with its fine guitar leads is a masterpiece and "I'd Rather Cut Cane For Castro" and "Hammersmith Guerrilla" are very good heavy rock (not rock'n'roll) numbers.
Their two albums hold an exceptional place in early seventies rock."
