ESL?!
ESL was a melting pot of art, politics, hardcore, pop, and so many plays of the old Grimple and Sicko records it was too many to count. You will bob your head in amazment and you will nod your head with understanding. Produced by Dave Small of Intro5pect. TRACK LISTING
Fast, mad punk rock about society’s
ills and personal problems. The sample from “Willy Wonka”
is both appropriate and touching. These songs are very emotional,
but the term emo does not apply. Most emo seems forced, full of
hand wringing and crocodile tears. The regret, rage, desperation
and desire on these tracks is 100% sincere, and therefore incredibly
powerful. Damn good stuff. This album reminds me what I like
about punk rock. Musically, it’s not that great; the “whoa-oh-oh”
vocals are often flat, and this style of 1-2-3-4 pop-punk is tired
with a capital T. But this trio is so fervent in revealing their
political and personal turmoil that it’s hard not to admire
their moxie. This is some sloppy and kind of
simple punk rock that reminds me of RKL, except RKL's silly lyrics
have been replaced here by serious inteligent commentary on society
and politics. The combination of the sloppy music and tight lyrics
separates this album from most of the generic punk that comes out
these days. If you like bands like the Thumbs or Pinhead Circus,
you'd probably like this album
