about this album
Eschewing most of what once defined American punk, the band comes racing out of the gate with the title track, all guns blazing. Dave Calabrese lays down a solid rhythm while Jim and Bobby harmonize as if the Beach Boys were being assaulted by Rob Zombie. "Midnight Spookshow" comes across as anthemic intro, setting the stage for the rest that follows. Like downshifting and exploding out into the passing lane, "Come Alive" kicks the set up a notch and throws you back against your seat. The inescapable hook and infuriatingly catchy chorus defy you to hum another tune the rest of the day. As good as vocal performance is, Dave's solid, if not spectacular drumming brings the whole package together and makes it a highlight of the set. The band successfully rides big choruses, chanted backing vocals and thundering percussion seemingly without effort. This formula is never more evident than on the EP's closer, "Blood In My Eyes". While the band doesn't bring anything dramatically new to the table, few do. There is something instantly familiar and reassuring about the album that will certainly delight fans of the Misfits, Ramones and Ghoulies.
