A reasonable sonic facsimile of Kill ‘Em All. The tempos are fast but not blinding, and everything has the sandpaper-dry ca-chunk ca-chunk rhythm guitar sound.
This band is simply a group of guys who know how to write good songs. That’s it. No major cultural relevance, no rock’n’roll revolution, just really nice songs.

A tangent to the grunge big bang. They didn’t have that one big tune to get’m over. The guitar player was Jack Endino, just about the house producer at Sub Pop.
Three new cuts recorded in the midst of the band’s sold-out Canadian tour with Propagandhi. Included is the The Human Atom Bombs’ “Addicts of Communication.”
Sugar – Aloha’s sophomore full-length – doesn’t disappoint. Everything that blew us away the first time is back, smarter and more full-bodied than ever.
