If you haven’t tuned into Savage Beat yet, now’s the time to jump on board! With Wired, their second album, this Amsterdam-based band shows that they are here to break boundaries and defy genres. Following up on the explosive Trench Warfare EP, Wired takes their raw, streetwise energy and raises the bar with intense, powerful vocals and a polished rock 'n' roll foundation tinged with a touch of subculture angst.
The force behind Savage Beat, bassist Rogier Heumakers, initially began the band as an outlet for his love of early Oi! and street punk, but the result is so much more than nostalgia. Wired is packed with relentless, hard-hitting tracks that carry a modern edge while honoring the spirit of punk’s past. Songs like "Take It Further," and "So Much Hate" hit hard with a mix of fierce riffs and catchy choruses that can stand up against any classic punk and rock anthems.
The title track, "Wired," is a standout, slowing things down with a deep, grinding riff that any Motörhead fan will appreciate. This track showcases the band’s ability to channel gritty, hard rock energy, adding depth and contrast to the album’s otherwise fast-paced tempo. Throughout Wired, Savage Beat refuses to be pigeonholed; their sound is sharp, melodic, and raw, with influences spanning from ’77 punk and pub rock to modern street rock.
This is the album for anyone who loves an uncompromising mix of punk, Oi!, and rock 'n' roll. With Wired, Savage Beat has delivered an album as versatile as it is powerful, and it’s one you’ll want on repeat for a long time.
