If you are short on cash and can only get one CD from Thumper Punk… well, just randomly pick one and it will be some great old school punk. I have heard a large number of bad punk albums through the years, so I know it is fairly easy to get punk rock wrong. But Living Fire is another in a long line of new punk bands that get it right. The lyrics are straight out evangelistic or praise and worship in nature. So in a lot of ways, this CD takes you back to the early days of the Christian punk rock movement (before the pop-punk invasion crashed the party with a long line of posers). Living Fire is a Brazilian band, so in a few places the accent comes through thick and a bit difficult to understand. But to me that gives this album a bit of original flavor that makes it stand apart from the punk rock crowd. You can buy this album digitally now, or pre-order the physical CD that is releasing in September.
