It\u2019s an explosive, furious record that spans the gap between scathing post punk and riff heavy modern garage rock but quite rightly pays no real regard to genre boundaries.

The sardonic vocals are propelled along by a bone rattling bass sound and brutal kick in the balls whiplash drums. It\u2019s a full sound but lean and aggressive.
