Raise the Alarm is the debut album by British indie band The Sunshine Underground, released 28 August 2006. NME described the album as the "first great album of the new rave movement" which included the Klaxons and Shitdisco. Put You in Your Place" – 3:14. The Way It Is" – 5:14. Commercial Breakdown" – 3:50. Somebody's Always Getting in the Way" – 3:00. Panic Attack" – 3:44. I Ain't Losing Any Sleep" – 4:19.
It's by far the strongest track on the album, followed by the handclapping, foot-stomping, bar-brawling "The Way It I. Raise the Alarm has very few dull moments: "Commercial Breakdown," the band's second single, is wail-heavy and somewhat forgettable, and "Somebody's Always Getting in the Way" sounds a bit soggy too. But by and large, the soft spots are forgivable, and the album as a whole ends up sounding pretty darn fresh the whole way through. Raise the Alarm is cocky as hell, but in a good way - there's nothing like an album that roughs.
