Life in General is the sound of a suburban summer that never quite ends. It captures that specific mid-nineties intersection where the raw aggression of hardcore punk was being smoothed over by the infectious melodies of power pop. The result is an album that feels like a constant forward motion, driven by Mike Herrera's propulsive bass lines and Tom Wisniewski's crunchy, efficient guitar work. It is music for people who find catharsis in speed but still want a chorus they can shout along to with their friends.
