Review by: Alex Deller
Brash, hectoring punk-fucking-rock that’s relatively straightforward in sound but nonetheless manages to rankle in deeply unpleasant fashion. The title-track’s the clear stand-out, taking up the a-side with a mid-paced, clanging dirge of a thing that shouts at your face ’til something pops while elsewhere there are two brisker, Wipers-y numbers and another laboured, slow-to-boil grinder that broods like a tension headache behind the eyes. It’s all equally grim in tone and delivery and somehow reminiscent of the Dicks, thanks to both bands’ shared ability to get under your skin and rudely take a shit on your life choices without ever descending into overt sonic hostility. Highly recommended.
