CD Review: The Wonder Stuff, "Escape from Rubbish Island"

Eleven years after breaking up, The Wonder Stuff have returned to introduce their brash, old-school punk songwriting and indie, folk-rock passion to a new generation of listeners.

Singer/songwriter/guitarist Miles Hunt retains the vitriol the band was known for in its heyday. His targets on the new album include British culture ("Escape from Rubbish Island"), celebrity life ("Was I Meant to be Sorry?") and tough love ("Another Comic Tragedy").

The renowned attitude and energy that made this UK band a standout amongst college radio DJs in the early '90 hasn't sputtered one bit, despite an overhauled lineup; only Hunt and original lead guitarist Malcolm Treece are still on board. The band's blend of happy, uplifting rock songs with captivatingly cruel lyrics remain the same, and are sure to please old fans and new ones alike.
