Rocking poppy punk backs up an ultra-sarcastic swipe at British fawning over American culture. The vocals are clear and right up front in the mix so those pesky Americans can hear every word. This South Wales trio play a slightly looser version of US pop punk, a la Lookout Records, no doubt intentional to reinforce the message. Written and recorded under lockdown, it’s catchy as all hell and reminds me of those underrated (at least in the UK) Dutch reprobates BAMBIX.
I’m sure this is a generational deal but it’s kinda odd reviewing a single digital track. I’m a true believer when it comes to music being a tactile, as well as a listening experience, so hopefully this will appear on a three-track EP at some point to paint a bigger picture.
Pre-order now, released 3rd July 2020. A quid from the bandcamp page, all proceeds to NAACP Legal Defence Fund and Colour of Change.
