“I’m so sick of singing about hate, it’s never gonna make a change!” These lyrics make me chuckle. Not because they’re funny. No. They make me chuckle because they’re sung by Frank Carter. And the last time I saw Frank Carter, he was at risk of shredding his vocal chords whilst screaming “Misery fucking loves me! And I love her so!” in front of an incessantly violent crowd. At 11 O’clock in the morning. He also got a circle pit going. At 11 O’clock in the morning, ladies and gentlemen. Surely you can all understand how taken aback I was when I heard him sounding, well.. happy.
And he should be happy. Along with ex-Hope Conspiracy and Suicide File guitarist Jim Carroll, Carter has shed the heaving, anarchic skin of his hardcore punk past, instead opting for an entirely different beast altogether. Opening up with the schmaltzy, almost croon-like vocal lines of ‘She’, Carter is making his intentions perfectly clear. This is a massive rock sing-along, exaggerated even further by an unashamedly cheesy guitar solo that sounds like it came straight from the 1980s. It’s a gloriously slick opening gambit; the song proving itself far too mature and self-aware to be lumped in with most of the pop punk rubbish being churned out nowadays.
This self-awareness is carried out in such an expertly brash way throughout the album’s entirety, sing-alongs being incited left, right and centre. The chorus during ‘Beach of Diamonds’ is an absolute belter, with the victorious cry of “Dive in! Dive in!” presenting itself as a potential live favourite for their UK tour next month. The same goes for ‘Riot Song’; it’s a huge, dumbed-down tune that people can sing along to, but it’s not trying to be clever at all. Single ‘Bury My Bones’ also contains a triumphant cry of “Yeaaaaaaah Yeah!” big enough to make Bowling For Soup and Blink 182 assess the validity of their own “Yeaaaaaaah Yeah!” usage.
Of course, it’s not the Frank Carter show. Carroll proves his playing chops throughout the album, accompanying the primal drumbeats with a smorgasbord of styles and effects. An almost indie-rock guitar tone is implemented in tunes such as ‘Handsome Devils Club’; of course, it’s played with ten times the testicles of any indie-rock band. The groove-laden riff during ‘Scared To Death’ is also worth a mention, purely due to the fact that the track ends accompanied by a phaser effect. You’ve gotta love a man who uses a phaser.
Classic rock seems to have somewhat seeped its way into our Jim’s pool of influences, with the riff to ‘Bury My Bones’ sounding suspiciously like the guitar line from ‘I Believe In A Thing Called Love’ by The Darkness. Still, I can’t really complain; the song’s a corker. Carroll has a wonderful grasp on when to shred and when to shut up, and it truly is a virtue. The violin driven ballad ‘Heavy Kind Of Chain’ benefits endlessly from this, the guitars taking a backseat to allow the violins some time in the limelight. At least, I think they’re violins. Or maybe violas.. They’re sad sounding stringed instruments, nonetheless.
Being a band made up of former punk musicians, it really is gratifying to hear the Pure Love record all the way through. Of course, there are inevitable moments where ghosts of music past rear their ugly heads; palm-muted guitar on ‘Handsome Devils Club’ threatens to explode into an aggressive frenzy, before safely returning to the indie-rock tone mentioned previously. Carter’s cockney slur lends itself superbly, giving songs a racy edge that once again prevents this band from being identified as anything other than Pure Love.
‘Anthems’. The album does what it says on the box, really. Eleven tracks of instant, unadulterated anthems. It’s a titanic, obscenely self-indulgent album on both members’ behalf, allowing them to write music that has eluded them until now. These songs are just made for the live environment; every single one packs enough raw power and sincerity to flatten an elephant with a serious eating problem. With ‘Anthems’, Pure Love have given birth to a creature that differs vastly from anything that’s come before. Having already appeared on Gallows’ sophomore slab of brutality that is ‘Grey Britain’, Frank Carter has proven that he’s capable of writing a classic album. He might have just done it again.
‘Anthems' is released 4th February on Mercury Records. Pure Love's headline tour kicks off in February 2013.

I wasn’t a fan of Frank Carter’s previous band, Gallows.Their music just didn’t appeal to me; I don’t really go for that vocal style.This however is more up my street, my sort of sound, and with it, Carter showswhat a good voice he has. Pure Love Anthems Zip Album
Comparisons have been made to the likes of the Manic StreetPreachers, The Gaslight Anthem and The Darkness, but personally I think they’remost similar to Stone Gods (the band formed from the ashes of The Darkness). Comparisonsto The Gaslight Anthem are also accurate, as fans of the New Jersey band willbe able to identify. To be honest though, the album title gives you some ideaof what to expect, and it doesn’t disappoint.
What this album offers then is a selection of welldelivered, guitar led songs with Carter’s strong vocals laid on top. It’s adifferent direction totally to Gallows, and he and guitarist Jim Carroll havepulled off a strong and solid debut album. It doesn’t reinvent the wheel, butit makes no excuses for what it is. From start to finish it’s just pure rock. Stadiumstyle rock that’s meant to be played with the volume turned up to 11.

The album kicks off with the Oasis-esque ‘She (Makes theDevil Run Through Me)’ and it gives a good indication of what’s to come.A solid riff and guitar solo show that the restof the album means business; something that is confirmed within seconds of thenext song, ‘Bury My Bones’, starting. Thumping drums and a crunching riff leadinto the opening line “I’m so sick of singing about hate/It’s never gonna makea change”.If proof were needed that there’sbeen a change of musical direction, then this is definitely it. It’s one of thebest songs on the album. The guitars are huge and Carter’s vocals are particularlyimpressive. It has a punchy aggression, but at the same time has a veryaccessible sound.
Other standout songs on the album include the brilliantpop/rock track ‘Beach of Diamonds’. If you’re a fan of Noel Gallagher’s solostuff then you’ll like it. The upbeat and catchy ‘Handsome Devil’s Club’ isanother highlight with a big sing along chorus reeling you in. ‘Riot Song’ isanother top quality song, again with strong chorus. These are my personalfavourites off the album. They’re also the ones I was most familiar withbefore, as they were released on EPs last year. The rest of the album though isjust as strong, with consistent guitar heavy anthems.
To conclude then, this an album full of pure rock songs.Nothing more, nothing less. It’s not trying to be anything else. Once youunderstand that, you can enjoy it for what it is. With so many various subgenres within rock, it’s nice to have a band that plays straight forward rockmusic. It was a brave decision to venture to a different style, and one thatmight not be popular with the legion of fans that like Carter’s previous work.But that also works the other way round. With a radio friendly and accessiblesound, Pure Love’s fan base can only grow. An album I definitely recommend.
