One band from each side of the Atlantic Ocean, both with a penchant for gruff, melodic punk rock played with plenty of gusto. Epic Problem packs more of a punch on its two songs, both of which have a cleaner sound than The Slow Death, whose offerings contain a bit more grit along with the slightest of nods towards country/Americana. A match up of rambunctious proportions. –Rich Cocksedge (Brassneck, brassneckrecords.bigcartel.com / Rad Girlfriend, radgirlfriendrecords.com)
