Cam Girl Flesh & Chrome LP
For an album that was self-released, the production here is really off the charts. This would be right at home on my local hard rock radio station. Very reminiscent of that style of pop punk that was big during the early 2000s, like the DONNAS, BILLY TALENT, SUGARCULT, and the hair-metal-infused era of SUM 41; the kind of punk that took more of their influence from DEF LEPPARD and MEAT LOAF than your typical D-beat band. There’s also an element of theater here that really adds to the storytelling of the songs and energy. Speaking of energy—this slab is chock-full of charisma and catchy, clever lyrics. I can’t lie, readers. I didn’t expect much here, but by the end, I was hooked.
