THE TIGHTS
TV, WORK & BED    * * * *  (4stars)

Recently reformed Brit-Punk veterans make up for a long absence.

A teen-punk phenomenon back in the day with a handful of releases on Cherry red to their name, the recently reassembled Tights have released a credible album (incredibly, apparently their first?) of spiky punk pop anthems, all in that authentically wiry Brit punk mode. “Band Interrupted” appears to explain the group’s long hiatus from the scene, recently single “7707” tips a hat to punk’s Jubilee Year and the stinging lyrics and lashing guitar on “State of Nature” would have done The Buzzcocks proud. While the years haven’t eroded their school-boyish charm, there’s a bittersweet bite to this album that tells of greater depths than pogo punk.
