Back with the third installment in its summer of singles, Perilous gets political on the rocker "Revolution Calling." Raging against corruption, lies, and "devil politics making us all sick," this song isn't a piece of commentary so much as it as an urgent call to action. "Are you ready?" asks the band, and you know exactly what they're talking about. I always measure politically-themed songs the same way: Would it be a killer tune even if they were singing about something else? And in the case of "Revolution Calling," that's an affirmative. This is a fiery and exciting shot of old school punk rock. Rather than being secondary to the message, the music powers the message. Somehow I was so busy that I completely slept on Perilous also releasing another track last month — which turns out to be the band's very own theme song! This is one of the best bands out there playing real deal punk rock 'n' roll. If you're not yet following its summer of singles, now is the time to get on board!
