Ever since Lysol rebranded themselves as Fan Club, with it came a considerably more traditional, straightforward garage punk sound that so far never hit quite as hard for me, always just a bit too much on the rather basic, traditional, dad rock-ish side of things. Their newest one now feels a lot like the timeline has been reset back to about 2021, right around the peak of their previous hard-/garagecore era and i couldn’t be happier about that ‘cos let’s be real here, if there’s one thing i surely won’t get exited about in 2025 it’s yet another bloodless, The Hives-style garage “revival rock” record. That shit already sounded pretty fucking stale just a couple years post-Y2K and i’m sure not gonna muster up any patience for it today.
