My So-Called Band

The Punk Girl Next Door

Yesha

I don’t want to be a Pinhead no more! Yeah, this So-Called Band starts out with a Ramones riff on speed that breaks and swerves like some garage door blow out. Most songs clocking in at under three minutes, with an energetic attack on the same kinda formula. If it’s not done well, don’t do it… and I’m thinking these guys are doing it pretty well. A touch of So-Cal punk between the East Coast rock, so it’s a nice solid fast mix.
