“Back to life is a wild collage of different (albeit all heavy) genres. Example: the juggernaut that is 'Cupids Arrow', the screaming offspring of cock rock infused with grunge. No ridiculous spandex or abundant plaid here though; the terrible lyrics are gone, as is the unnecessary posing. This is just hard and heavy, throwing everything at you at once. The album begins as it intends to continue- intensely powerful like a drunken toddler behind the wheels of an articulated lorry, damn dangerous and fun. The influences of varying forms of american rock are splattered throughout, from 36 crazyfists, velvet revolver, love/hate and black label society in the crunchy and storming onslaught that is 'Gimme some more'. The one persistent echoing influence is the late great Layne Staley of alice in chains. Tough company to keep up with, admittedly, but Patriot Rebel pull no soft punches; they are out for blood, in the best possible way.”
