Party Savior 7''
Seismic Wave
2010
Rating: 6.5 empty drums out of 10
Gold vinyl! I don't think I've ever seen that one before or since. Not sure why, it looks pretty great. Victory and Associates come from Oakland and while I'm technically friends with a couple of the members (officially making this "friend rock"), that doesn't mean it's not enjoyable. They've got a "big" rock sound - sort of singalong NYC hardcore punk mixed with seventies glam rock in the vein of Starz, if you can imagine such a combination. They're definitely a tough one to easily describe. The title track is for sure the best of the two, a catch track that almost drifts into Les Savy Fav territory. The b-side "Thousandaire" doesn't hit quite with the same level of awesome, but it's not horse meat either.
