Musical gratitude in a punk wrapper.

The guitar growls like a neighbour upstairs with a drill, but inside there is nothing but warmth and gratitude. Jokes about lamps, food and Tubi sound like family stories, where every line is a wink: ‘those in the know will understand’. There's heavy metal, a guitar hero with a solo that reaches the ceiling, and even birds with ‘Nintendo’ calls.

And all for one simple realisation: sometimes real strength isn't loud words, but lamps in the room, a tidy house and a Suzuki Samurai in the yard. It turned out noisy, ridiculous and very homely.
