Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

A modern day Pinkie Brown could be imagined to be walking the streets of the town on the Wirral, hat strategically placed in a position of authority, a crisp suit that would cost the wearer more than a week’s wages, if he had to pay for it, and for all purposes the man who ran the seaside town with a fist of iron…this is the wonderful sense of power that strides through the objectively superb and musically thrilling new album by Ian McNabb, New Brighton Rock.
