There’s a Fugazi/Bloc Party-esque feel to this record, a re-release with an extra track. Stolen Transmission are the label responsible for this record’s re-birth, and truth be told it’s a half decent one. The At The Drive In-esque din of ‘Electric Shock’ and ‘Cutback’ emphasise the sound of a band who like their musical dynamics – the thudding basslines and squally guitars suggest there’s talent in abundance here and plenty to look to in the future. A decent record without ever really breaking any new ground, The Photo Atlas are good enough to warrant your eyes and ears.
