Houseboy

1465 Tamarack Street Press Room (Stiff Pole)
by Scott Hefflon

There’s a good album in here somewhere. Ruined by shallow production (all the drums sound like wimpy snares, the guitars are almost non-existent, and the vocals sound really far away), the vocals are now in a more comfortable octave and the band is tight as shit. Blasting through song after song of fast-paced melodic punk, Houseboy deserve better. Way better.
