This just explodes. Driving, buzzsaw guitars, steady thumping, and chantalong choruses combine with a euphoric, party-punk feel. It’s a good time.
The snot-filled vocals sound a little like a young Ben Weasel, while the female background vocals are abrasive. To some, this combination may be distracting or unpleasant, but I think it adds a level of chaotic, noisy coolness – same reason why I like the Selby Tigers.
12 short, catchy, obnoxious songs. Not quite consistently infectious or interesting to be a Coozer’s Pick, but it’s got street punk energy and a pop-punk feel-good vibe. Check it out.
Bottom Line: Good band, but bad name if they want to get groupies.
Notable Tracks: Misery, Sexless Existence, Can’t Stand You
