With Gareth Sanger leading the charge,
Rip, Rig & Panic's debut is much more user-friendly than anything recorded by Sanger's previous band, the always abrasive
Pop Group. This record gallops along from start to finish, honking and buzzing along the way, with loads of odd vocalizing and feral, primal, repetitive rhythms. Not the most significant album to come out of the early days of English post-punk, but one that still delivers plenty of smiles 15 years later. ~ John Dougan
