Ackrill/Venning '91

Ackrill/Venning '91 is an audacious revelation of a debut LP demonstrating a profoundly passionate love of music from its creator. All the songs mine a rich vein of genres with no two sounding the same. The upfront jangle of 'Danes In Peril!' sits proudly next to the harsh metallic racket of 'Harley Tat'. And if 'He Forgot My Name' is a dreamy spectral prayer from a fallen angel then 'Getting Fucked Over By Your Friends' is the best ninety-second shoutalong about betrayal EVER that the Shangri-Las never got round to singing. The public attention this CD attracted to the Hank Collective, especially the above-mentioned dance-party hit "Danes In Peril", has gone from mere praise to a mighty roar of approval and love.
