For Fans Of: Dinosaur Jr., The Deer Hunter, Perfect Pussy
Despite my deep rooted hatred for modern, warped tour-core pop punk, I secretly have a very sincere love for pop punk that is done well and doesn't make me want to shoot myself in the face. This hidden love for pop punk is what lead me to love and obesses over the Ergs, and more importantly, their ever active drummer/front man, Mikey Erg. Almost everyone knows of Mikey Erg, as he plays in just about every god damn band ever, and most, if not all of those bands, absolutely rule. As one of his bands that rule, is Pale Angels, a noise rock band consisting of two members from England, and him from the U.S. The band delivers a punk fueled noise rock/noise pop sound, dousing all the songs in sweet, sweet, thick, layers of fuzz. Every song on this record is an absolute gem, instantly memorable and forcing you to think of such noise rock/indie giants as Dinosaur Jr.. It really is difficult to sum up this album, so just check it out and give it a listen for yourself, and make sure to keep an eye out for their record coming later this year, as this record was criminally underrated when it originally came out. (P.S. if these guys are ever in the states again, go see them. I had the pleasure of seeing them and they're all the best guys and put on one totally deafening/amazing performance).
