Labels: Boss Tuneage
Review by: Ian Cavell
Somewhere along the line I’d heard one or two ALL/Descendents comparisons thrown in the direction of the Unknown. That alone is enough to get me excited but the first track, ‘Puzzles’, is more like the ramones-ey three chord type stuff that I don’t get on with all that well. Its also got those annoying “wah ha ha hah” vocals too which sucks. The two live tracks are a lot better though. ‘Never be the Same’ has got the melodic ALL kind of sound while ‘My Friends’ is more in line with the Descendents brand of frantic pop-punk (shit I’m getting lazy with these reviews). I’ve got to say that neither song is amazing but they’re good enough that I’m tempted to check out one of the many album’s that are floating around at the moment. I will say this though, there are a number of people who are absolutely besotted with this band so maybe there’s something here that I’m missing.
