Good punk/pop from Tucson. They drink the same Buzzcocks/Clash/et alia Kool-Aid as their more talented predecessors, The Exploding Hearts. I also detect some Johnny Thunders and Hives, and this seems to channel Love. Some weaknesses in lead vocals, but strong guitar work and decent hooks compensate. I’d put them on par with The Number Ones from a few years ago. Formulaic perhaps, but it’s still a great formula after almost fifty years. As for lyrics, does anyone care in this kind of music?
The above songs are not necessarily the best from a recent album worth listening through. There are a couple of semi-duds, but even those have some strong points. I think they have two earlier albums, but I haven’t gotten to them yet.
