The Alarm,”Sigma” (The Twenty First Century Recording Company)- Many of his contemporaries from the immediate post punk era may have fallen by the wayside over the years but Alarm frontman Mike Peters still soldiers on regardless, and “Sigma” serves up a generous helping of the raw anthemic rock which has been their signature sound since the original incarnation of the band released their debut album, “Declaration,” in 1984. They may not always have been the critics’ favourites but Mike and his assorted cohorts have maintained a sizeable fan following throughout the past three decades or so and they’re in particularly fine fettle here on stand-out tracks such as the epic “Armageddon in the Morning” and “Blood Red Viral Black,” the latter boasting a welcome guest appearance from Cult guitarist Billy Duffy.
