Lights Out - Destroy Create LP YOYO 031

“Lights out, lights out, Berlin”…ok, stop Ray, you’re not Phil Mogg. This LIGHTS OUT! (complete with the exclamation point) is not a UFO song but, rather, a punk band from Germany who have released their latest effort “Destroy / Create.” They have a sound that will remind you of some classic early ‘80’s punk luminaries like Circle Jerks, Reagan Youth & Negative Approach. The fast-paced garage-y guitars, angry vocals and songs like “Contempt” and “Be Quiet And Obey” will take you back to those times, for sure. The only problem, and it’s a bit of a stout one for LIGHTS OUT! is that they often “remind” too much. There simply isn’t a ton of personality or panache there to make their stuff stand out or apart from those early punk icons. So, while this may be a decent listen when you’ve had your fill of life’s bullshit, it’s not something you’re going to remember next Tuesday. Take some more time with the songwriting next time, guys.
