Coming on like a Gibraltarian version of System of a Down with flamenco replacing Armenian folk music as a major influence, Breed 77 also resembles a rockier, and not quite so deranged, Gogol Bordello. It´s a sound they've been perfecting since 2001's self-titled debut.
Breed 77 are a little bit different. Their lead singer Paul Isola can be heard playing a djembe, a skin-covered hand drum originating from West Africa, on 'In My Blood (En Mi Sangre)'. Yet they're also capable of the conventional rock ballad as the lighters-in-the-air ´Look At Me Now´ demonstrates.
If you could bottle what the now London-based band have in their blood and use it in the name of scientific research, you could, more likely than not, come up with something interesting. In the meantime, Breed 77 continues to stimulate the less cerebrally-challenged Kerrang reader. The boys from the Rock do indeed, erm, rock.
