The Briggs – Come all you Madmen (SideOneDummy Records SD1357-1, 2008)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There is one memory i connect with The Briggs: Many years ago (memory is faint here, must have been early 2000’s) The Briggs did a support stint for Flogging Molly, graceing the old “Gr\u00fcnspan” in Hamburg. Standing upstairs on the small balcony at back of the club i thought it was raining through the roof – only to realise that The Briggs got the masses sweating so much that the vaporing sweat condensed on the not too high ceiling above me … outsch!<\/p>\n

The show was great and my lovely wife at the end of the Briggs stagetime pushed a Briggs T-Shirt into my hands :”This is for – you got carried away totaly by The Briggs i noted<\/em>“. Lovely, i still wear that shirt!<\/p>\n

But this is not about memories, this about great records that mean a thing to me.<\/p>\n

The verdict:<\/p>\n

1977 \u2013\u00a0sure thing and quite a different sound to the rest of LA!
\n<\/em>published by a cool lable \u2013\u00a0yes – independent and cool bands on it!
\n<\/em>found in a cool shop \u2013\u00a0\u00a0\u2026 Burnout, Hamburg!
\n<\/em>catching sound\u00a0\u2013 best when slower, best when a wee bit “dramatic”. And produced by a BossTone so must sound great!
\n<\/em>The lyrics \u2013\u00a0clever and well written, dare i say “intelectual street credibility”? Mhhhh?<\/em><\/p>\n

Read loud!<\/p>\n

Can peace keep this from happening?\r\nWaging fear we can\u2019t forget\r\nA disease, his words are spreading it\r\nThere is no need to argue\r\nNow just do what he says\r\n\r\nYou must learn to trust no one\r\nSmile as we charge into the sun\r\nAnd when it\u2019s over we can say\r\nI saw it on TV\r\n\r\nThe need, no there\u2019s no stopping it\r\nAnd you won\u2019t believe your eyes this time\r\nThe last message we tried to send\r\nFell into the wrong hands again\r\nRemember they can make up anything\r\n\r\nYou must learn to trust no one\r\nSmile as we charge into the sun\r\nAnd when it\u2019s over we can say\r\nI saw it on TV\r\n\r\nLet the truth unfold\r\nWe\u2019re waiting for an answer\r\nThis silence is our hymn\r\nOur fists are raised and it\u2019s time\r\nTo take back what is mine\r\n\r\nYou must learn to trust no one\r\nSmile as we charge into the sun\r\nAnd when it\u2019s over we can say\r\nI saw it on TV, yeah\r\n\r\nYou must learn to trust no one\r\nSmile as we charge into the sun\r\nAnd when it\u2019s over we can say\r\nI saw it on TV, yeah\r\n\r\n(c) 2008 SideOneDummy \/ The Briggs<\/pre>\n
