Unknown-ness: Never heard of this band, but i'm 99.9% positive it is gonna be juvenile punk.

Album Review: Its fast, its furious, but there are no cars. Its just over 20 min long, as punk tends to be. Lots of feedback over three chords, and angry male and female vocals trade off for different songs, but they rarely overlap. This is their second of two LPS, which is a title taken with a grain of salt, because the first record is even shorter. It is pleasant, DIY, fuzzy & angsty punk-pop. My copy remains sealed, so since Bandcamp has the full album up & streaming, i did not see any reason to break the seal.

Stand Out Track: Had Enough
