From the most disgusting- putrid place in the US- New Jersey, these dudes emerge to stake their claim as best punk band in the last 15 years, maybe more? Could it be their bratty vocals that have enough just enough bark and enough bite? Let's Say Nj Style snottiness ala CHRONIC SICK, AOD Meets Melodic CA perfection ala DECRY? Could it be the jangly-treble rebel guitar sound that makes you think of AUTHORITIES, or maybe DEAD KENNEDYS for the broader spectrum? Could be the perfectly recorded drums that strike hard with just the right amount of snare, bass drum, and cymbals? And god damn it, the bass, you can hear it (Unlike so much of punk!) and the motherfucker is playing it the way it's supposed to be played- Fills in all the right spots, perfect tone, etc. All in all to some up their sound would be something a review just couldn't do justice....but think of all the things you like about early CA Punk/HC (I.E. Not So Quiet on the Western Front COMP 2xLP) and everything you like about early NJHC (CHRONIC SICK, AOD, TMA) and make those things fuck and have an abortion and this would be that lifeless corpse baby.
