Second one from Bay Area pop punk rockers. Buzzsaw guitars, almost slightly gothy croony vox, pummeling rhythm section, great hooks, all wrapped up in a dreamy, noisy, distorted haze. You'll notice consistent lyrical themes of being sick of society/humanity, frustration with oneself, bored frustration with work and school. RIYL Henry's Dress, Wax Idols, Hunx and His Punx, Cheap Time
*1 (2:14) ~10 sec alarm clock opens, huge noisy sirens of guitars kick in,
*2 (3:28) Prototypical mosher, deep vox/hooks make it unique. Solos/breakdowns second half
3 (1:11) Slamming drums, shredding guitars, real snotty feel
****4 (2:41) Fucking great; slower vox, perfect guitar, chugger of a rhythm section. Feelings of sadness/guilt/regret/lamenting one's self come across in lyrics and big, catchy, jarring riffs alike
5 (1:45) FCC MOTHERFUCKER Whiny nah-nah chant sees title repeated ad infinitum
6 (1:42) Sweet-sounding; fuzzy, upbeat college rock feel, higher vox
7 (2:20) Voc sample open. Slamming drumbeat, carpe diem attitude
8 (2:14) Great upbeat bassline, pretty straightforward
*9 (3:50) Frustrated head-nodder; focus on the constant wall of guitar
10 (2:33) * but FCC FUCK Hazy, touch of shoegaze, soft, acoustic guitars +feedback replace buzzsaws; vox indecipherable, soft, buried
11 (3:06) Angry but restrained, closer feel
