A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!!

Long time coming for a vinyl issue. I'm surprised it took the band this long for some vinyl release of this. This really deserve the vinyl press as a reissue. I'm really happy so see New Victoria Theater. It had seemed to be a song that wasn't on the original CD press by Crank! A record company

Medium Gnarly

Energetic math-rock riffs, gravelly punk vocals, and midwestern emo textures come together in cathartic fashion on the Oregon band's debut.
