Coming almost ten years after Gluecifer’s swansong ‘Automatic Thrill’, this third album from guitarist Captain Poon’s Bloodlights is a record which could match his previous outfit’s claim to be the kings of rock.

Far rougher around the edges than Gluecifer in their later days, Bloodlights are ugly, mean and fully charged.
