The good news here is that these guys seamlessly take their Leatherface / Hot Water Music influence and deliver some hook-laden tunes with a deft precision that would make the Descendents/All stand up and take notice. The bad news is that somehow the “punk” edge got lost in the shuffle, leaving songs that, while damn good, just don’t bash on the noggin enough like they should. A wee bit more audacity and chutzpah and this would’ve easily been one for the history books.
