Chin-Chin We Don’t Wanna Be Prisoners EP
Three melodic but bouncy “girl-group” (yes, this is a sub-genre, as best epitomized by GIRLS AT OUR BEST, KLEENEX, etc.) pop-punk tunes. Catchy as hell, and uplifting.

Three melodic but bouncy “girl-group” (yes, this is a sub-genre, as best epitomized by GIRLS AT OUR BEST, KLEENEX, etc.) pop-punk tunes. Catchy as hell, and uplifting.
Pure second album CLASH-type melodic politico-punk. I think you know that I’m describing. They do the genre well.
HUNGRY FOR WHAT’s approach is molded by ’77 punk, but a certain sleekness of production imparts a contemporary feel to their songs. There’s some good music here; still, H.F.W. see-saw between moments of power and a sedate professionalism, with the latter winning out in most cases. A strong, yet unmoving release.
This album is a bit lighter than the previous, though it contains the same early punk mix of pop-punk and ska punk, Reminds a lot of middle-period CLASH. Pretty slick.
