Six-song EP of hardcore punk. Previous releases on In-Charge, Rodent Popsicle, and Blackout!. Honest and hard-charging, a pretty straight-forward genre band.
Ah, I love early and mid-’90s punkpop ala Screeching Weasel, The Queers, all all that bubblegum goodness. 1990’s punk pop ruled, and this is a good exmaple.
Out of Atlanta, GA, A Small Victory’s pop punk sound lasts for most of their latest album, El Camino, until you get to the twangy acoustic guitar song.
Vigorous up-tempo stuff without dumb gimmicks, just strong chord progressions and climactic choruses and thoughtful lyrics over a hearty rhythm section.
Classy Go-Go’s-style punkpop. Clear vocals, Manda can hit the right notes, the guitars are chipper, not sawing, and the keyboards are tasteful, not abrasive.
