Excellent garage/punk trio from Phoenix, AZ. Unlike a lot of bands in this style, they cover a lot of topics lyrically. Not far from Lazy Cowgirls, X, The Godfathers.

((((1)))) (FCC “shit” sung three times) Uppity, steady, multiple vocals.
(((((2))))) Fast, bursting with energy. Funny references to Philly (Wawa, greasy hoagies).
((((3))))) Swaggery, twangy and vocal centered.
(((4))) (FCC “shit” sung once) Great opening riff, wailing guitars, but a little too redundant.
(((((5))))) Repetitive but rather infectious chorus filled with “oh-way-ohs” and a blazin’ rawkin’ solo
(((6))) Country-blues with some good acoustic guitars.
(((7))) Electric guitar slide, kinda flat overall but the slide work is pretty rad.
(((((8))))) Another fast & on target punker with multiple vocals. Lots of shout outs to the pre-Gulliani NYC.
((((9)))) Rippin’ punk n’ roll with a bunch of punk & related subgenres shouted out.
(((10))) More wailing guitars but the weird classic rock moments should’ve been left out.
(((((11))))) Different lead vocals, twangy power-pop vibe and altogether great stuff.
((((12)))) Simple and to the point - ‘mercian Punk Rawk.
((((13)))) Strummy memoir that builds up to a nice tune and back. Deals with moving around between Philly & Jersey.
