SINGLE REVIEW: The Empty Page - Cock of the Fifth Year
It's always refreshing to see women making waves in the punk scene! Frontwoman Kel exudes attitude and energy that would leave any bloke wishing they could be as fierce as her.
'Cock of the Fifth Year' delivers a bold, artistic sound with a touch of pretentiousness. It's a glamorous explosion of raw, attitude-heavy noise, fueled by adrenaline. I particularly appreciate the thunderous instrumentation and grunge-inspired distortion.
The song's narrative takes aim at the overconfident jock types we all encountered in our youth—those who strut with swagger and inflated chests, seeking to assert dominance but ultimately coming across as arrogant. They may appear confident, but in reality, they're just as lost and insecure as everyone else, navigating adolescence.
'Cock of the Fifth Year' is a brash, eruptive slice of straight-talking punk that's angular, urgent, and unapologetically in-your-face!
