Yet another TKO Records band I don’t know, but sometimes that’s a good thing. It’s cool to check out bands you never heard of before and i’m glad I picked out the Reducers S.F’s album “Raise Your Hackles” to review. The band has that street punk sound (mixing rock n roll in there as well), similar to bands like Electric Frankenstein, Ducky Boys, and Swingin’ Utters. Obviously, the band is from the San Francisco area unless the name means Reducers Suck.Feet or something. But that would just be silly…their music is punk rock goodness, but sometimes the vocals gets irritating in some spots. Props to the band for doing a nice cover of the Pogues’ “Broad Majestic Shannon,” which you can find at the end of this CD. If you like the bands I mentioned before, you might like the Reducers S.F. If you want to hear some songs of the band, check out their myspace profile here: http://www.myspace.com/reducerssf

Bottom Line: The album was pretty good, but nothing too special.
Notable Tracks: Fading Away, Knocked out, Over The Edge
