It’s that early Green Day punk Rock that’s fast, no make that rapid plenty of bounce a tonne of melody, and a whole bunch of goofing around. Pulled together from a bunch of demos, and an EP that never got released until now obviously. It’s been fermenting for over two decades but it doesn’t sound dated or left behind ‘The Screw’ being an absolutely thunderous tune. That is as tight as a drum and rapid as fuck. The punk kids will love ‘Janeane Hates Herself’ as it rattles along. NOFX rings out on ‘On Top’ but I do like the riff on ‘The Cut’ a great low-end rumble and a rigid middle digit.
The ten tracks on offer aren’t all crash bang wallop with the closing track being quite a laid-back tempo ‘City Of Lost Children’ maybe this genre has seen its zenith but there are still plenty of bands out there cutting the mustard and doing it well. Often it’s finding out who, where and when in the digital age there is so much music it’s often a full-time job trying to keep up with bands you’ve always loved without bands pulling up trees behind the first waves.
That’s the beauty of this here internet it’s made the world a whole lot smaller and easier to discover bands and albums from the other side of the spinning rock the only problem I get is there aren’t enough hours in the day or days in the week and this is a decent example of a solid record making a welcome debut many moons after the recordings were made. Punk as fuck! Pick it up here
