Love Equals Death

Nightmerica (Fat)
by Scott Hefflon

Another fine addition to the string of solid mid-level bands released by Fat in the first half of 2006. Not the household name bands, but their openers, the one’s who rock your “I’ve heard the name, I’ll give ’em a shot” ass around the room. Part dark punk, part rock, there are Pennywise melodies and tuff group shouts, a few silly faces, a few statements made, and then there’s clean Bill Stevenson production and that creepy girl on the cover. A bit of a scattered debut effort, but plenty of shiny moments mixed in if you can forgive yet another closing ballad.
