Sound: Undeniably British punk with lots of jumpy energy, guitar riffs and troublemaking attitude. They’re out to party, piss off a few people and make you dance a little.
Heavy Rotation tracks: “When the Sun Goes Down“; “Perhaps Vampires Is A Bit Strong But…“; “I Bet You Look Good On the Dancefloor”
Medium Rotation tracks: “The View From the Afternoon“; “Fake Tales of San Francisco“; “Red Light Indicates Doors Are Secured”
Recommended: If you’re looking for fun and youthful recklessness in a modernized punk package that freely borrows from the last 30 years of rabblerousing rock. There are a couple memorable hits on here, but the overall vibe is what’s more likely to stick with you.
