Track-By-Track

We’re All F***ed

Punk, yes. Fans of either hardcore or pop punk will like this. Kind of halfway between. The basic message is also the title. A shorter track that may require hitting that repeat button.

I Guess I Know

My favorite part of this track is the guitar. By the sounds of it, you’d swear these guys have been around a decade or more.

Youth Disapproval 

A minute and a half? Really? You write something this good, and it’s that short?! Not fair. Hitting repeat now. All your teenage angst in a tiny package.

Get it Right

This one will have you pulling your hair out, trying to get it out of your head. Whether it be the lyrics or the music itself, you’re gonna be stuck with it. You’re welcome.

Ray of F***ing Sunshine

Coming in at less than a minute, you’ve got the perfect song to quote for the right occasion (we all know you quote lyrics, so don’t lie). 

Carry the Flag

To be perfectly honest, I find this track a bit difficult to review. The vocals aren’t entirely clear. Great beat and background, though!

The Way It’s Gotta Be

Again, this one is gonna get trapped in your head. The chorus is super catchy. Ooh! And that bridge! Sorry, not sorry. Good luck getting it out of your brain.

Upon Conformity

I really like how this track starts. Hard-hitting and definitely an attention grabber. The rest of the song doesn’t disappoint. My personal favorite on the album.

Under My Thumb

Loving the energy in this one. Not that the others lacked. This one is perfect for your get-up-and-go.

Brimstone 

Going for a run? Add this to your playlist. Great sound and beat. A solid second place on my favorites list.

Riot

This track needs no introduction. You’ll love it the first time through.

My Time

Simple chord progression, but not monotonous. Good song. Good rhythm. 

Teenage Dipsh**

Ok, then. No intro, just jump right in. If you’re familiar with Salzburger Echo, this may sound familiar. Not an insult. Kind of fun.

Recommended?

I’m gonna go with yes. I’d call it a solid 8/10. For a new band, that’s high praise.
