The vocals here are often in the vein of Stiv Bators. The music has a great punk rock sort of approach. At times, though, they work closer to the type of music done by Lords of the New Church and they even take things into Americana and territory close to country at points. All in all, this is a strong disc.

The killer riff that drives this is great. The sneering vocals definitely make me think of Stiv Bators. It’s a song that’s not that far removed from something he would have done with Lords of the New Church.

Here’s another punk rock stomper. Bators is without question a valid reference point here, too. But this one has a bit less of a hard rocking edge.

This is much slower and mellower. It’s basically a rough around the edges ballad with equal parts Americana, country and punk.

There’s definitely plenty of that Bators’ element in place here. It’s a mid-tempo punk rock stomper that’s very cool.

While there are no molds broken here, this one brings a lot of charm and character to the table. In fact, somehow it reminds me a bit of Lords of the New Church’s “Gun Called Justice,” and that’s high praise from me. I like this tune a lot. It might be the best on the disc.

There’s more of a stripped down, but still raw and crunchy, roots rock element here. It’s less of a punker and the vocals sound less like Bators. Still, hints of both remain. It’s a good tune, and a nice change up.

There are no big changes here. It’s just more of the same kind of music we heard on the last one. That said, it’s another strong tune.

The Stiv Bators elements is back in place here and I love the crazy psychedelic meets punk rock sound of the guitars. This is another highlight of the set.

More pure punk rock is heard here. It’s another great tune on a set that has no shortage of great material.
