Sailboats Are White - Turbo!

RAAAAARGH! RAAAAARGH!

Album Review by Milo McLaughlin | 12 Nov 2006
Album title: Turbo!
Artist: Sailboats Are White
Label: Poptones
Don't be fooled by the drawing of a cute kitten on the cover of this album. Instead, notice how it's towering above some kind of poorly drawn industrial cityscape, ready to crush all in its wake. Apparently influenced by, amongst others, Black Flag, The Fall, Blur and Slayer; Canadian youngsters Sailboats are White like to SHOUT! A LOT! And play their guitars FUGGING LOUD. "RAAAAARGH! RAAAAARGH!" is an example of the lyrical content on this album. One of the songs is called It's Exactly Four Seconds From Here to the Door, I'll Give You Two. It would be too easy to stop playing the album after about the same time period. Alan McGee is responsible - is the man a genius, or a knob? You decide. [Milo McLaughlin]
Turbo!' is released on November 13.
