Rating: 6.5 third rails out of 10
Dirtnap records and catchy-as-shit pop punk go together like my dog and something stinky and dead for him to wallow in. High Tension Wires couldn't be any more a poster band for this label if they tried. Within the group you've got folks associated with the Riverboat Gamblers, the Marked Men, and god knows what other groups. It sounds exactly how you'd expect a Dirtnap release to sound - upbeat, full of hooks, lots of "woahs", a slight garage tinge, the sort of music that is pretty easy to sing along to. With twelve songs clocking in at around twenty six minutes, it's clear they aren't fucking around - they waste even less time than I'm wasting writing this review. Seriously, it's fuckin' Dirtnap, you know what you're getting into here.
