Review: 'BERMONDSEY JOYRIDERS, THE'
'Brian Jones (The Real True Leader...)'   

-  Label: 'Fuel Injection Records'
-  Genre: 'Punk/New Wave' -  Release Date: '14th April 2014'

Our Rating:
The Latest 7" single by The Bermondsey Joyriders is a tribute to two of the band's big heroes, Brian Jones and Johnny Thunders and this really should be single of the month in any decent singles column.

The A-sid,e Brian Jones (The Real True leader of the Rolling Stones) has been stuck in my head since I first heard it; a great early Stones sound with Gary Lammin's vocals ramming home how much they miss Brian's mercUrial presence. It's full on and cocky and Martin Stacey's bass rumble underpins it almost as much as Chris Musto's drums.

The AA side, Johnny Thunders Was A Human Being is a great heartfelt tribute to Chris Musto's old boss. Sounding like a cross between the New York Dolls and Gang War that is easy to sing along to, the AA-side once heard is impossible to get out of your head.

This single is a good foretaste of what's to come on the third Joyrdiers' album Flamboyant Thugs. That isn't out until 26th May and doesn't feature either song so you really need to go buy the 7" single from Fuel Injection Records.

...or at the very least watch the excellent videos that were directed by Terry Rawlings.
