From the very first track, Bragging Rights it’s clear that this isn’t just another punk rock band; their music seems to be mainly rock, with a little bit of punk thrown in for good measure. Lead singer Enda McCrory’s voice struts in with a certain devil may care recklessness that his band mates match undoubtedly with thumping drums, crashing cymbals and gritty guitar riffs. Right from the outset PTP make themselves known: they are here, so you better listen to them.
Musically, I Came Here To Hit Somebody has a distinct Queens of the Stone Age feel, with grinding guitars and just the right level of sneering confidence, McCrory swaggers through this angry track with ease. Vocally, it’s like a much more confrontational Greenday back in the good old days.
PTP show off their musical versatility with Bed Skippin’ which has a very bluegrass/folksy feel, all the while still retaining the sheer confidence that this band seems to exude. The shortest track of the E.P, this one tells a definite story and from the first puff on the harmonica, to the last rough and ready harmony, this little gem has me hooked.
Despite the Mexican connotations of the E.P’s name, this band are punk rock through and through. In fact, they have it down to a fine art – so down that shot of whiskey and turn No Way Hombre up as loud as you can.
