Botox Rats: Like the appropriated riff from Black Flag’s “Nervous Breakdown” that starts off “Nasty Business” would imply, these kids are well versed in the classic beach punk sound, which is interesting considering their mailing address implies they’re based in London. Heavy thud, a mid-tempo beat and shrill, up-front vocals will no doubt wet the jeans of the most diehard Stitches fan. Modern Action: Another fine, catchy ditty, “Drink to Win,” that belies less Briefs and more Bodies influence this time ‘round.
