Several
albums into their career, Philadelphia street punks the Boils produced
their own Sandinista! with the sprawling 25-track From the Bleachers.
Rather than synthesize the various strains of punk past and present
that have influenced the Boils' sound, this album simply parcels them
out a few tracks at a time. A little Ruts-style reggae-punk here, some
Oi! there, the occasional detour into grindcore noise, and everywhere,
the influence of the Dischord Records crew. Given that the band's
devotion to the principles of hardcore punk means that songs rarely
last past 90 seconds, this gives From the Bleachers an oddly fragmented
quality. The pieces never quite fit together, with some songs that
sound so much alike that it takes careful listening to make sure when
one ends and another begins, and others that seem dropped in off of an
entirely different album. Somehow, however, it all seems to make sense.
