Side A is a boisterous number that reminds me of the Crumbsuckers. Side B is a bit slower but has a very catchy chorus that’ll leave you humming for days.
If I wanted social/political commentary, I’d watch pretentious panel discussions, out-shout-your-opponent talk shows, or listen to hardcore. Guttermouth rocks.
Their most obvious touchstone is the chattering punk haikus of the late, great Minutemen, and the poisoned surf guitar may bring back memories of Dead Kennedys.
Meaty lo-fi punk. Screeching, scratchy vocals; thick and onerous rhythmic bass lines; lots of heavy guitar distortion and crashing percussion punctuate Side A.
Former Bad Religion guitar guy Brett Gurewitz rocks out Elvis Costello-style. All the commercial radio catchiness necessary to make this a summer single.
Fast, grubby, gritty and gleefully kickin’ the snot outta the old punk war-horse, as if that’s gonna make it get back up and run the Kentucky Derby and win!
