This is the sound of a band that decided to stop overthinking and start playing as fast as possible. It is gritty, unrefined UK punk that feels like it was recorded in a single take with the needles firmly in the red. The guitars are jagged, the drums are relentless, and the vocals carry a sneering, playful energy that refuses to take itself too seriously.
What sets this apart is the lack of 'adult' pretension. It is a return to the primitive roots of hardcore where the energy of the room is more important than the fidelity of the recording. You can hear the sweat on the strings and the strain in the voices, creating a sense of immediate, visceral connection that more polished acts lose in the studio.
Start with 'Substitute For Sex' to hear the band at their most frantic. It is a brief, explosive introduction to their philosophy of noise and speed, perfect for anyone who misses the era when punk was about three chords and a lot of shouting.
