Pinehurst Kids: Bleed It Dry

Bleed It Dry
Bleed It Dry
2001BarbaricEmo

At 11 tracks, it’s a short document of quintessential early aughts emo pop punk, but certainly a decent one. Easily digestible songs full of chugging guitar, higher voiced nasal vocals, punk hooks by the bucket load and the word “kids” in their name makes it all just soooo emo. Even the plaintive wails of “you can break my fallllll” in the opening song, “The Onclear” makes it clear just where the wheelhouse of this band is that launched a thousand Simpson sister-marrying fools. Thanks dudes!
