Rock-y garage punk. I loved the distorted bass and the combination of the change-up of vocals and more exploratory guitar in “No Excuse.” I felt a lot of the tracks kind of sounded quite similar to me, and I found my focus drifting a bit. That being said, the feedback jam in the last track really brought me back.
STREET EATERS is a Bay Area group that provides some of the thickest, down-to-earth punk I’ve heard in recent times. This four-track EP highlights the best aspects of the group, which happen to be playing kick-ass post-punk topped with a brooding vocal performance. Everything about this record is totally cathartic and powerful. I’ve heard this group has become something of an underground hit in the Bay Area, and with releases like this it’s no wonder.
