    It’s not the sheer force alone that compels ‘New Self’ to feel so entirely necessary; it’s that all the New Yorkers’ punk bluster is imbued with a sense of fun.

    Considering how good this music is, one can't help but wish there was more of it, but that's the only serious complaint that can be levied against New Self, which shows the Bobby Lees have come through a difficult time stronger than ever.

    The band still retain their sneering punk edge, with singer Sam Quartin delivering her front-page news with the theatrical menace and genuine rage. [Summer 2026, p.67]

    It’s a lot of fun, and marks a very welcome return to the game for a punk band who are on the ascendancy.
