East Bay punk combining early, 50s rock with 70s punk, new wave, glam. Simple music structures with catchy hooks; melodic, bouncy, gritty, sweaty, boozy, animalistic. Fun and pretty consistently good, with a lot of variety too.
RIYL: Hunx & His Punx, Warm Soda, Jacuzzi Boys, King Tuff, Black Lips, King Khan
1 (2:31) Laid-back, breezy, dancy, poppy, hooky, driving
2 (1:44) FCC FUCKIN Discordant with a beat, almost a country-rock uptempo plod
*3 (1:56) Upbeat, snotty, flute; fun 50s throwback bout pretty girls, fun cover of the Kids of Widney High
4 (1:32) Noodly, botchy 70sesque solo; slower, strained transistor radio vox
5 (1:01) FCC SHIT Short sweet punk blarer, "you're pathetic"
*6 (3:08) Punk with bright shiny, fast pop a la Warm Soda scuzzed down
7 (1:55) Fun early rocknroll given a psychedelic Elvis treatment
*8 (2:39) Acoustic stomper with rambling, wild, croaked vox
*9 (1:30) Catchy, blistering pop-punk
10 (3:17) "Little Bo Bitch" repeated 100+ times, bluesy scuzzy pounder, ends w/ demented laughing
*11 (2:19) FCC BULLSHIT Driving bassline, chugging chiming guitars, 50s scratchy vox and melody
12 (3:10) Teen (22 year old) birthday girl ballad, happy bday to you refrain. Charming if a little long; breaks down at end
13 (0:31) FCC FUCK Angry shouted punk breakdown about beer cigs sex
14 (2:39) Not a big fan of this one; softer poppy, real upbeat but quiet, scratchy unintelligible vox
