Action Time Vision

Album Review: ALTERNATIVE TV - Action Time Vision 1977-1979 In the illustrious pantheon of punk rock, ALTERNATIVE TV often gets overshadowed by their more well-known peers. But with the release of their compilation album "Action Time Vision 1977-1979," it's time for this underappreciated band to step into the spotlight. From the opening chords of "Why Don't You Do Me Right?" to the anarchic energy of "Life After Life," this album is a raucous, unapologetic blast of punk rock goodness. Frontman Mark Perry's distinctive vocals cut through the chaos like a chainsaw, delivering lyrics that are equal parts scathing social commentary and sardonic wit. But it's not all nihilism and snot-nosed rebellion here. Tracks like "Love Lies Limp" and "Still Life" showcase the band's knack for crafting melodic hooks that stick in your head long after the final chord has faded away. And let's not forget the iconic "Action Time Vision," a song that encapsulates the DIY ethos of the punk movement with its raw, unpolished sound. While ALTERNATIVE TV may not have achieved the same level of commercial success as some of their contemporaries, "Action Time Vision 1977-1979" is a reminder of the band's undeniable talent and influence on the punk rock scene. So crank up the volume, grab a pint of warm beer, and let ALTERNATIVE TV transport you back to the glory days of British punk.
