The Downstrokes / The Prozacs Better Late Than Never split LP
More pop punk from two bands who heard the QUEERS three decades ago and thought “This is how I’ll write music for the rest of my life.” I guess that’s the entire theme of this split. Arrested development and refusing to grow old and change your attitude. But Jesus Murphy, how many more times are we going to have to hear this tired, old trope? There is nothing that differentiates these two bands from the mounds of other bubblegum punk bands out there. This review ended up being more negative than I wanted it to be, so I’ll leave you with this thought: I know that RAMONES-core in general has a very dedicated fan base, so if you’re into all of that shit, then you will absolutely love this split.
