Short sharp riffs, grimy guitar noise, bad words sung through overloaded microphones, all delivered full head of steam what more do you need? If you're the Beautiful New Born Children, maybe a better band name, but that¹s about it.
This German combo sticks to the basics and gets to the point, churning out nine bracing blasts of terse, catchy noise-pop in less than 24 minutes. They waste no time grappling with the big questions; the lines "I'm feeling good, I'm feeling fine, and I don't really give a fuck about what you say," from "OK, Alright, Fine," sum up their world view.
Their style? Imagine Perfect Sound Forever-vintage Pavement if they powdered and snorted all their younger siblings' Ritalin, skipped the experimental posing and decided to just rock out. If that sounds like a good idea to you, then so will this record. To say any more would be to miss the point.
