Yes, I know this album came out over seven months ago. Yes, I just bought it last week. However, this album deserves some much delayed praise from this blogger. Let's just start by saying that this is a really great album. From start to finish, the tracks push relentlessly from one to the next driving the album forward a fevered pace. As a result, it becomes impossible to stop listening. The album sports amazing lyrics, catchy guitar hooks, and great drum work, and all of these things combine for one great collection of songs. For the uninitiated, this duo from Vancouver sounds like the punk counterpart to the more blues-centered sound of the Black Keys. Some might detract from the album because of the similarity of the songs. But who cares with songs this great?
Review: 8/10
Stand out tracks- Fire's Highway, The House that Heaven Built
