Clean, crisp production isn’t very punk rock, is it?
Oh well, who cares. If you’re a NOFX, Rancid or Against Me fan you probably own at least fifty albums that sound utterly identical to this one, but somehow this doesn’t matter when the album plays. Whether or not they have anything new to say is entirely beside the point. You’ll at least believe that they want to say it

Antichorus, in the mold of the genre, has a quite sincere urgency to it.
The band hail from Austria, and I must admit I’d be quite interested to meet
Lux (vocals/guitar) in person as you get almost no sense of his accent from the album. He leaps from faux Celtic to faux English to faux Californian without missing a beat, whichever the song demands. Might’ve been interesting to hear something with just a little hint of the bands own ethnicity, but who knows, Maybe Austrian just sounds awful in three-chord punk. I shouldn’t really object given how many...
