They’re angrier, less poppy, and sound like a lot of the mid-’90s Fat catalog of rampaging, start/stop, technically-impressive punk with a lot of heart.
Fans of Guttermouth and The Vandals who’re looking for a younger band to be kind of offensive, fast, snotty and, well, punk, should check out Beefcake.
Fourteen songs, short and not-so-sweet, a few produced by Mass Giorgini. The second studio release by these Cleveland punks, out of print for some time.
All of the gruff, none of the annoying snarl. Plus, they’re more melodic and willing to use different styles to get that country-music-desperation across.
