The three-piece act are as loud and aggressive as The Refused but never once do they sound like they're taking themselves too seriously. Yes, it sounds pissed off (and probably is) but it's more of shit-eating grin "fuck you" than an overly mundane "you're all mindless sheep" fuck you. The lyrical subject matter for the most part is pretty light on substance but when it does make a clever point, it sneaks up on you and smacks you square in the face. It might just be a one-off album but the song-writing is solid and the playing it tight enough to make one hopeful for more material in the future.
