Beasts of Bourbon are one of our most shamefully underrated bands. Romance is not dead, but Tex and co slowly strangle the life out of it in ‘Master and Slave'. The title track starts to sound almost melodic and cute – ‘'What have we done to the animals', the ‘cuddly little animals' is the plaintive cry, but don't worry, The Beasts haven't gone soft, they soon become the ‘tasty little animals' and we eat them. This album lurches and swaggers from one classic to the next, knocking every affectation and subtlety sideways. ‘Sleepwalker' isn't so much played on guitars but backed by guitars being throttled until they vomit in decibels. Reports of the death of The Beasts of Bourbon have been greatly exaggerated. I doubt very much if it's even possible to kill them. This isn't a return to form as it's doubtful as to whether they have ever been out of form. Little Animals is rock stripped back to its elemental brilliance. Crank up the volume and savour every mouthful.Read full review
