In a country beset by economic woes, a Tory government and a strange,
reactionary backlash by many young people that has led to these people being
in power, a release from the Citizen Fish/Subhumans camp is especially
timely. Dick Lucas has always been adept at writing in depth lyrics relating
to social and political problems without making every song sound like a
political tract, and the new Citizen Fish EP 'Dancing on Spikes' is a biting
look at the current situation in Britain, set to a shout a long ska punk
soundtrack that should have anyone' feet moving straight for the nearest
dancefloor/pit. Like last years full length album 'Goods', the music on here
is slightly slowed down in comparison to the bands output during the 90s and
early 2000s, but its none the less foot stompingly catchy for it. Songs such
as 'Unemplode', aimed at Job seeker's office and their unrealistic
expectations for people to find work in this climate, or otherwise work for
much lower than the amount needed to live, or 'Over', questioning the
finality of the assumption that we have pulled out and 'finished' with
certain middle eastern conflicts, are made more comprehensible by a slower
pace, and are still catchy as fuck. The one faster song on the record, 'Write
It All Down' is clearly going to be fun when your down the front with a cider
in hand, but to be quite honest all six tracks are! The West Country's finest
come through again.
