2004 ∙ Island ∙ Punk Revival
The dudes from this band are nice guys, so I feel a little bad talking shit about their album. The first track sounds like a Bad Religion retread from the early nineties, and has enough echo on it to choke one of those Ricola trumpeters. The rest of the album is just so generic it hurts. I could play you track eight and then track four and then track three, and then mix them up and play them again, and you wouldn’t have any idea which song was which. The music isn’t bad, per se, just remarkably unremarkable. The whole album is just drenched in a layer of something that hides the music behind a wall of bad production. The word “off” in their name is very apropos.
