Just as Gary Numan celebrates the 30th year of Replicas and proves just how influential he was, so White Williams comes along to provide more evidence.

New Violence mixes electronic pop with twisted guitar lines with an astounding affect. Initially grinding away with an incessant beat and bassline that glides close to the best of Trans Am's material, Williams gives the track time to breathe. Slowly introducing different sounds and layers into the mix New Violence grows as intensity as it rolls along gradually heading towards a tweaked keyboard interjection that could have been played by Rick Wakeman, if Rick Wakeman preferred the 3 minute pop song over the 3 hour long prog rock solo.

Then there's the completely inept guitar solo that fiddles over the final 40 seconds or so. Needless to say, it's exactly what New Violence needed (and not many songs really need a guitar solo that sounds like it has been played by a ham fisted cretin). White Williams is almost certainly one to watch for the future, after all he can make the past sound fresh.
