Anchor Brain, 2009

Sleazy and deranged dance-punk, with guitars as sharp and squealsome as the vocals. Call them catchy and they’d probably break a guitar over your head, then play a show with it. That’s also the problem for me though: the record is more fashionably objectionable than it is enjoyable.

Captains Of Industry, 2007

Five tracks of pretty good off-kilter, discordant, new-wave punk from the UK trio. Problem is, you don’t have to go any further than Blood Brothers for a reference here.
