Boss - Cash Em In (Static Shock Records) 7"
Even if a band should not be summarized by the people who compose it, it is difficult not to evoke those of Boss. First of all Jonah Falco, drummer, among others of the excellent Fucked Up and Career Suicide but also producer of Chubby and the Gang, Lacquer or The Chisel. Then Maxime Smadja, singer of one of the best recent Oï bands, Rixe, but also known under the pseudonym of Digital Octopus with whom he has fun transforming punk hits into synth-pop anthems. Add to that Charlie Manning Walker from Chubby And The Gang, Nicholas Sarnella from Crown Court, Amaury Benitez from Rixe and you get Boss.
The five heroes finally follow up the Steel Box 45 (Goner) with Cash 'Em In. A disgustingly catchy yet charming ode to the lost art of picking up one lucky person and, well, chucking them over a bar. Might as well, right? Sonically, this is still hitting that sweet spot between early UK punk and glam rock n roll, and once you've flipped both sides you'll be getting ready to cash someone in yourself (and don't worry, Cal from The Chisel pops up to provide full instructions).
