Pop punk produced by Bill Stevenson & Stephan Egerton of Descendents/ALL. You know the pop-pop… pop drum style that’s been missing from ALL? Hagfish have it.
More writers and artists stormed out, slamming the door behind them. I don’t have the heart to tell them the springs are broken and the door would slam anyway.
These Animal Men are closer to Carter U.S.M. than the rest of the wankers. They have infectiously dippy songs with upbeat tempos that might almost be pop-punk.
Strife is hardcore, through and through. Straight-edged, non-metal, all angst, all positive. You best be straight-edge if you expect to keep up with them.
The first few songs struck me as odd, but by the end, I’d grown to like the singer’s voice and really dug the piano accompaniment. A very cool punk record.
The songs on Kill, Baby, Kill are a dreamy concoction of smooth pop and ragged samples. Slick keys or distorted-rantings, Sweetie skates comfortably along.
