Comments: For a relatively young band, these guys have gotten pretty good press in the independent media. Not quite hardcore, not quite shoegaze, but almost surely some kind of punk, the band’s sound is a little tough to pinpoint exactly. That’s not really necessary, though. “Impression” seems like it could have quite as easily fell out of Fugazi’s catalog. That I will say. Great ending to that song. I’m glad the band has/is making the rounds around the Boston area as an opener for the likes of Pretty & Nice and pretty soon Wavves. It wouldn’t be too surprising to me if they started gaining prominence a la Male Bonding.
