Description
Latest from these SoCal punks playing raw and catchy hardcore in that classic OC style.
Our take: This is the second tape weve carried from Orange Countys Socals Parishioners, and it picks up where the last one left off with more classic-sounding OC-style punk tunes. What I like about SoCals Parishioners is how theyre able to craft raw and hooky songs without sounding like either a hardcore band or a pop-punk band. Instead, they nail the sound of bands like the Simpletones, early Social Distortion, Agent Orange, China White bands that were still writing pop songs, but infused with a thuggish swagger that would serve you well hanging out at a locals-only spot in a run-down SoCal beach town (Im guessing I grew up on a farm in rural Virginia). They build all the songs around big vocal hooks, but Im partial to the slower track Bikini Atoll that ends the tape. After two tapes, I think SoCals Parishioners have proven their mettle, so lets hope the next thing we hear from this band is on vinyl.
