One of the new hot shit garage punk bands out of North Carolina, Paint Fumes play the Triangle so often that you wouldn't know they actually come from Charlotte.  Ain't none of these three songs going to set the world on fire, but they do a good as job as almost anybody at performing this particular brand of snarling, catchy rock-n-roll.  You could probably make an Oblivians comparison but that is true for almost any band of this ilk playing music today.  You could maybe even stretch to a Spits reference but that's really more in attitude than actual sound.  Either way, good songs from a good live band that get more stage time than your favorite local stripper.
