This is a raw punk band with great sound in all the recording. In fact I liked the guitars and bass which add some power to this band that most of the punkish bands out there do not have. The sound is raw and at the same time is modern. This guys do not rely their music exclusively in the seventies. In fact they have a very modern sound and that is much better than just imitating the sound of their icons. The guitars are for me the best here because they give a lot of energy to the band and make their music really wild !!! Favorite tracks: "1200 Stares", "So Depraved" and "Prayer for the Dead".
