These youngsters from Northern Cali ( ya I said Cali, blow me) are here with their debut ep entitled "We're Like Trash Talk, But Good", which made me giggle because they are talking trash on a band named Trash Talk. This ep is unique to say the least, starting with a Spongebob style intro, you can tell these dudes are having a good time, probably writing tunes and playing grab ass simultaneously (Which is no easy feat). For the most part this is mid tempo punk with a nice crisp guitar sound but has some of that Minutemen style funky guitar here and there, some surfy stuff and at times playing some up strums, the guitar player rips and is as versatile as cheddar, which comes in so many forms; everything from spray cheddar to a wheel of cheese. The vocals remind me of the dude from Smut Peddlers or at times of Nikki Sicki so he sounds pretty peeved like perhaps his mom forgot to pack him a chocolate pudding in his lunch, but not the John Brannon I'm gonna destroy you with my seething anger type of way. Most of the songs have silly names like "Cock Block" or "Girls Are Better Than Boys". If you want to be intellectually stimulated go read some T.S. Eliot but if you want to hear some pretty rockin tunes with some fun lyrics check this out. Out now on Secret Records/ F Label.
