Is this the same band that was on Polyvinyl? I don’t remember them sounding this… spirited. The album explodes in dance-punk and good radio rock, guitars a-blazin, drums a booty-shakin. And it just goes up from there. “Action Fans Help Us”, “Rebel Radio”, the title track, “One Hot Coma”… just about all of the songs are hand-clapping, punk n’ roll good times.
More importantly, the songs are smartly written. You have to admire clever lyrics like, “I feel like an arsonist / because you are my perfect match / and you light up everything around you…”
This is really dynamic punky rock with poppy catchiness and an indie precision. Great, solid album.
