Listening to Feeder's seventh studio album on your piddly little hi-fi would be doing it a grave injustice. Listening to it while sweating your bollocks off in a dingy student union, while flat cider dribbles down your top, would be way more fitting.
Heavier than the Welsh alt. rockers' poppy noughties releases (remember 'Buck Rogers'?), 'Renegades' has more in common with the group's mid-'90s assaults when they were still semi-fantasising over being Britain's other answer to Nirvana (along with the less good Bush).
A mosh pit-friendly slug of anthemic rock, this is a band that still plays with an energy horribly absent of so many younger 'trend' bands. If anything would ever make you want to slip into a pair of purple Doc Martens - and not much should - it'd probably be this.
*WIN BOXED COPIES OF THE ALBUM*
To try and win a copy of 'Renegades' (we've got 5 to give away), simply email your name and details to chaps@maxim.co.uk, stating 'Feeder' in the subject head. Winners will be picked at random. Entrants must be over 18 and live in the UK.
