Wow, i didn't expect this vancouver group's debut record to be such a perfect smasher. It should also turn out to be quite the crowdpleaser as far as contemporary post punk is concerned, turning back the clocks by a decade or two with its decidedly melodic approach, refined songwriting and tons of catchy hooks, combining the strengths of several strands of the genre. The most obvious comparison would be early 2010's bands like The Estranged, Criminal Code, Holograms, Autobahn or the more recent Girls In Synthesis… but i also pick up some echoes of the more straightforward punk side of things á la Xetas, Daylight Robbery or Anxious Living. And last but not least, groups bordering on noise pop territory in the vein of Piles, Wild Moth or Die! Die! Die! have sure left their mark here aswell.
