Nuke ‘Em High Mutant Thrashers CD
The FACTION/JFA blended up with SHEER TERROR/SLAPSHOT? Another new-to-me band. Themed to a very ’80s toxic waste mutant aesthetic and of being an old punk, they put a whole lot of California in their sound, with a couple tracks meddling with the more melodic side of skate punk. The production is a little thin for my taste, but overall enjoyable stuff here. I prefer when the band lands on the more HC side of their sound—they seem to shine the faster and louder they’re going into the songs, but overall, a fun release and an easy listen with actually fun and funny lyrics.
