Full frontal assault by a new band featuring ex-Porch Mob and Goons members. “Wasted Time” throws things into fourth gear from the start with a throbbing bass line. There’s a healthy tip of the cap to their harDCcore forefathers like Scream and Minor Threat, but it’s not derivative. “Back to the Swamp” is their tribute to DC’s real roots—when it was a muddy quagmire. But you won’t get bogged down with this EP if well-played punk is your bag. You need this pronto.
