The Lousekateers DCxPC Live, Volume 37 LP
Live recording of a set played by this NY pop punk band in Troy, NY early this year. I’d put their sound somewhere between TILT and the MUFFS, with a penchant for more intricate rock’n’roll guitar/bass arrangements more indicative of the latter but a propulsive ’90s pop punk edge easily ascribed to the former. The recording is clear and crisp, the band is playing pretty tight, and the singer seems pretty engaged with the crowd and her lyrics. An easy listen that underlines a quirk I’ve noticed several times where pop punk bands have a pronounced edge live they tend to hide on record. Good stuff.
