It’s been two years since the pub rocking debut from (The Glocks), Magpie Genocide, but it still sits on my desk at work, in between a collection of CDs I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing over the years and a pile of dodgy Metal Hammer compilations.

It’s been two years, but The Glocks haven’t been sitting pretty. After a line-up change the band released a collection of singles last year, two of which (Louise and Cage Fighter) have made it onto their brand new EP Naughty Boys & Dirty Girls released in October.

Also featured on the EP is Red Light, from the Magpie Genocide era, repainted with a shiny new gloss. When I reviewed the Magpie Genocide version, I thought it sounded like the Buffalo Bill dance from Silence of the Lambs.

The new version, I’m glad to say, has more of an Iggy Pop like swagger to it, and a lot less serial-killer-making-a-woman-dress. Needless to say, it fits better with the whole punk n’ roll, pub rock aesthetic The Glocks have going on. 

The stand out track for me was definitely Krystal, the one track I hadn’t previously heard before. The song captures the punky sound of The Glocks, and showcases the greater depth the songs have with the female backing vocals, especially during the anthemic refrain. If there is one song I could use to demonstrate the sound of The Glocks, then Krystal would be that song.

The thing I like about this EP is that it’s a snapshot of the past, the present and the future of The Glocks in one package, from the Magpie Genocide days to Krystal. I hope this song is the kind of polished, catchy material The Glocks are going to focus on for the next release. To me it represents The Glocks finding their sound and building up to their peak. I can’t wait to see what they bring us next year.

You can buy Naughty Boys & Dirty Girls from iTunes for a measly $3.96, or stream the album from the band’s ReverbNation Page.
