First exposure to this local (Oakland) band and they're quite the churning piledriver: Ramones hooks and harmonies crossed with an overdriven wall of fuzz and hum. I'm reminded of the bottom-heavy attack of Pampers, the oblique lyrics of the Spits, and (strangely) Spacemen 3 (when they digress into drone-heavy extendo-grooves).

Their 2025 LP is pretty good - please don't construe this as an ad.

Love BotH, will have to check these guys out. Also need to do another pass over the concert calendar and figure out what shows I need to buy tix for!

    Oh, they were opening for (the incredible) Kid Congo & The Pink Monkey Birds, who I love but are also a known quantity. These folks were unexpected and had all the greater impact for it.
