La Ultima Hora (The Final Hour)

Breed 77

Albert

WE SAY

This came out in the UK at the end of November and was first raved about by Kerrang! in May so we're late to say the least - a combination of the postal strike and our own inefficiency. However, we wanted it draw attention to it now because it's one of the few 'proper' rock records we've heard recently with crossover potential and a great melody. Breed 77 are from Gibraltar but based in London. On this evidence, they could do the business worldwide.
