The band's debut release on Domino, Hey People!, is exactly what every punk explosion should be: pure energy in nine songs clocking in at just less than twenty-three minutes, and it'd be far less if it weren't for the six-minute noise freak-out at the end that is "Up and Down and Round and Round."

With the distortion turned up to "painful" and three chords hit with the force of a natural disaster, The Beautiful New Born Children have arrived screaming and covered with blood.

Good thing: Hey People! is a scorching nine-song debut--garage rock that actually sounds like it was recorded in a garage.

Hey People! is the most elemental kind of rock 'n' roll -- easy to love, but hard to convey in words. If you like it fast and rough and dirty, this one's for you.

After years of indie kids presuming to shake digital ass, the electronic empire has struck back.

The recording is so shaky, so ramshackle, that you could conceivably miss a whole song for all the foggy fuzz here.

Short sharp riffs, grimy guitar noise, bad words sung through overloaded microphones, all delivered full head of steam - what more do you need?

Hey People! isn't something you can listen to often, but it's a bracing start to the year.

There's nothing puzzling about the music, which eschews embellishment in favour of a 1,000-volt jolt of brash punk energy.

Hey People! is a fast and furious collection of raw guitars and edgy vocals that screech their way out of the speaker like some prelude to a giant car crash.

There are still those who will find their tightly-wound ramalama - clocking in at just 24 minutes - a little unrelenting, but live and loud it's hard to deny a considerable contact high.
