. Hooky and riff-heavy,
are a refreshingly gnarly band in a time when indie rock seems to be getting increasingly precious. Rather than layering on the beardy plaintiveness or throwing in the occasional vintage synth, the band just pushes toward good old-fashioned rock & roll as it taps into that most visceral of musical expressions: the totally searing guitar solo. Tracks like "Doom 84" find
exploring the classic rock rabbit hole as they come swagger their way out out of the midsong solo with a big scuzzy Southern rock riff, making for a song that would sound just as natural at a basement show as it would blaring out of a Camaro on a summer day. If you think that the "rock" part of "indie rock" has been dying a slow death, look to
as your lighthouse during these dark, guitar-less times and rejoice as you air shred along with all that
has to offer. ~ Gregory Heaney
