Epitaph takes a break from cookie-cutter Bad Religion clone bands and forays into the fascinating world of lo-fi trash punk. Amazingly, the band they chose to bankroll is pretty darn good. A lot of energy and quality musicianship is squeezed tightly into relatively short, catchy songs by these five Swedes. Fuck, I’m impressed.
