Really enjoyable pop/punk in an older punk style, not unlike the path STRANGLEHOLD took. Roughly translated, that means lotsa hooks, pop structures, clean production, pounding drums, vocal back-ups, and tough guitar. Good.
It’s a trade secret that these guys’ debut album was one of the unsung pop-punk surprises of a few years back. With this, their second LP, the CONDITIONZ seem to veer deeply into some R’n’B punk regions, as well as toward basic pop-punk with rich hooks. The change is interesting: the result is an enjoyable record with a good guitar energy.
