Bandages Bandages LP
Anthemic, melodic punk that borders on alt-rock in the modern context. Pro recording, pro performance, fronted by powerful femme vox, and it’s all really honest, really earnest, and…really good. I could also easily imagine hearing it on the radio. I’d be okay with that. Shit, I’d probably listen to the radio if it sounded like this. BANDAGES land like a band whose members consumed DILLINGER FOUR and FALL OUT BOY with equal enthusiasm, but there’s also an OFF! record on the shelf next to QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, and I bet there’s someone in the band who can speak intelligently on matters of classic USHC—shit man, I’m trying to put a finger on it, but I’m still fukkn listening so these kids are doing something right.
