Post Description

Er staat ook nog een album uit 2017 in de map: Sam Draisey - 2017 - As I Live and Breathe.

I haven’t heard from Sam Draisey since I reviewed his impressive album, As I Live And Breathe back in 2017. He’s not been idle, though, and one or two things have changed – he’s not the fresh-faced young chap he was back then; a look that belied the intensity of his music. Red vs Blue is an eighteen-track double album with as Sam says, no front and no back as far as its covers are concerned. The odd thing is that his looks still belie his music; you might expect him to be spitting vitriol but these songs are clever, witty and readily accessible.

The first track on the “red” disc is ‘I Don’t Really Look Like A Punk’. Sam says that the two halves of the album are mirror images of each other, by the way, and the record is more about what unites us as a people than what divides us. Anyway: “I don’t have tattoos ‘cos I’m too indecisive / And my Dad brought me up to hate spending money” After listing some more of his virtues and concluding that his parents are pretty punk, too, because “Punk is anti-racist / punk is anti-fascist”. As a position paper for the album, it’s a damn good song, and I agree with all it – except that I’m of Sam’s parents’ generation, not his. ‘Get On Your Fucking Bike’ follows that and it’s not what you think it might be. Rather, it’s a plea for ecological sanity.
