Poison Girls - Chappaquidick Bridge Fresh Evidence

Review by Mary L Shaver

Chappaquidick Bridge Fresh Evidence is a powerful and politically charged album by the British punk band Poison Girls. The album, released in 1980, is a reflection of the turbulent political climate of the time, with themes of feminism, anti-war activism, and opposition to nuclear power.

The album's opening track, "State Control," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its aggressive guitar riffs and biting lyrics about government oppression. "All Systems Go" is a standout track, with its catchy chorus and lyrics about the dangers of nuclear power.

"Jump Mama Jump" is a more lighthearted track, with a playful melody and lyrics about a woman who refuses to conform to societal expectations. "Other" is a haunting ballad about the isolation and loneliness that comes with being different.

Throughout the album, Poison Girls' lead singer Vi Subversa delivers powerful and impassioned vocals, while the band's instrumentation is tight and energetic. The album's production is raw and unpolished, adding to its punk aesthetic.

Summary by Mary L Shaver

Chappaquidick Bridge Fresh Evidence is a must-listen for fans of politically charged punk music. Its themes are still relevant today, making it a timeless classic of the genre.
