Loud rock n roll if you're looking for something simple. Garagey, power poppy, punky (early NYC particularly); this three-piece out of Denton keeps things pretty pure, while not being afraid of the edgy ballad- tracks are kind of hit or miss. Brash, loud, edgy guitar sound, instrumental competence; a together version of the band you'd expect to see in basements, backs of dive bars, pool hall jukeboxes in the movies.

RIYL: Thin Lizzy, OBNIIIs, Dead Boys, MC5

1 (3:17) Straightforward, loud hard rocking classic rock w/ touch of punk
*2 (2:29) Catchy, upbeat, driving, feedback, unintelligible verses
3 (2:21) Eh, snotty loud vox, sarcastic lyrics over simple beat, fast riffs
4 (2:49) 50s talkin to girls on the phone motif updated to include texting
5 (2:56) Slower, sung-spoke over buzzy guitars, glammy
6 (4:08) Eh, kinda whiny "I'm a nice guy" theme
*7 (2:22) Pissed off while upbeat, punky, Stoogey
*8 (3:32) Bright guitars, anthemic, another real frustrated burner. Cheap beer + cigs
9 (2:39) Riffy, straightforward
10 (2:46) Riffy, straightforward, pretty good
11 (3:53) Repetitive, dark, angry, loud, some feedback
12 (4:32) FCC FUCK Slower, bluesy and punky, scratchy yelled vox about rich kids
