I hear stuff that sounds like Crass, early Bad Religion, the Avengers and even Blondie all rolled into this one. This 8-song CD is also the first recording with the new bassist, Bisquick. If you're not familiar with OPCC, you should be. A dozen new songs of black hearted punk rock. Picture Crimpshrine or American Steel having a war with Metallica.
Vocals range from gruff to subtle, backed with melodic driving music.
There's still plenty of brilliantly executed melodic hardcore here, but they've expanded on this cd, with two acoustic tracks and one that can only be described as a metal bloodbath. Scrappy, frenetic punk with songs about teenage angst and gatorade. I thought so. I absolutely adore it. An amazing, passionate trio from Sacramento, CA, with male and female members that does spastic, funny, unpredictable punk rock.
