Scared Of Chaka
Crossing With Switchblades
Hopeless
The liner notes state: “recorded in Seattle during an earthquake, a riot, and a car heist.” The music kinda makes you feel like all three things are still going on. Straight up, straightforward, solid time punk rock that makes you feel good about punk rock. They play hard and fast and they don’t say sorry. Energetic songs with quick hooks and distorted attacks that crash through the time barrier and keep on going. It’s not new sounding, but it doesn’t sound like what you’ve heard before either. Grab a beer, turn the stereo up, throw your sunglasses on, and let the music hit you like a rock n’ roll heatwave.
