They’ve got a little more mild mannered since their last appearance here but then it is hard to recreate insanity on record every time. And no they haven’t gone and given that venerable Bruce record the A/F treatment. This is a newbie from the recently downsized threesome and will form part of their next record ‘Set ‘Em Wild, Set ‘Em Free’ (due tomorrow). As ever it has tonnes of character, preferring the windy over the straight ahead but then that’s what makes Akron/Family such an interesting prospect. Their live shows have become the stuff of legend but behind the randomness there is a seam of brilliant creativity. You gotta feel sorry for all the other bands out there having to measure up to this greatness. KD
