N.E. Vains Running Down Pylons LP
N.E. VAINS make music that sounds like it should be playing on the car stereo of your dad’s old Buick as you drive around with your friends, drinking beers, and being degenerate little shitheads. At the core, it reminds me of ’90s budget rock bands like NEW BOMB TURKS, but with an undeniable HEARTBREAKERS influence to the guitar riffs and a dash of snotty punk energy thrown in for good measure. The record clocks in at seventeen minutes, and even with a couple of lulls, songs like “The Grounds,” “Running Down Pylons,” and “Pinched Nerve” make it worth picking up. Put it on the stereo next time you want to drive around lighting bags of shit on fire and smashing mailboxes!
