  Four Past Midnight are not a 'new' band to me.
  Having seen them play live more than once and not really taking much notice, I was pleasantly
  surprised when a couple of album's landed on my doorstep, sent to me by Stu Taylor, who is now putting out some
  quality product on his STP Record label.
   'Guilty As Charged' is a piece of pure punk rock, written and played just as you like it, fast and loud!
   If you get chance to see 4PM live, we strongly suggest you do, it's another band that seem to have found a winning
   formula - not a successful formula, but it's not all about success is it? These guys couldn't give a fuck about success
   anyway, which comes through in the lyrics and attitude. Stand out track for us is the one playing on the page right now,
  'Fits Of Rage', although 'Gordon' runs it close with a very nicely crafted attack on the Prime Minister, Mr.Brown [nose ].
   The production of this album is good, and can only improve with time and direction....we like it!!!
