Here’s a split from a couple bands that I’ve heard of, but never actually listened to before. Complete Control are tough guy punk with soaring vocals and lots of “hey hey” chants in the backups. It may sound strange, but they remind me of what I used to imagine Anti-Flag sounding like after their voices changed during puberty. That said, I really do like this. Krum Bums are pretty good, too. It’s the same kind of music as Complete Control but a slight bit heavier and screechier in the vocal department. It’s not so distracting that I’d turn it off, but I think this disc definitely belongs to Complete Control. Oh, both bands each cover one of the other’s songs. I love it when bands do that on a split.
