Sicko

Chef Boy R U Dumb (Empty)
by J. Lianna Ness

The name of this band is misleading. I expected to hear twisted and obnoxious “Let’s-Kill-Some-Kitties-And-Poison-Our-Parents” noisecore sludge, but this is good, clean and, dare I say, wholesome, fun music your parents would probably approve of. Infectious, bubblegum, “pep-rally” punk with goofy lyrics that should prompt many giggles. They sound like a cross between Green Day and the 1910 Fruitgum Company (“Simple Simon Says” it’s a relief to hear a band from Seattle that doesn’t wear flannel and has a sense of humor).
