This Chicago-based quartet knows how to get you addicted. This is their first album with Kranky (though they self-produced two singles and a limited release live album), and I plan to pop it in my CD player every time I need to properly hype myself up for an adventuresome night on the town. The riffs are enthusiastic, the basslines make you want to jump around, the drums encourage you to "dance like no one's watching." The vocals make you feel young again (okay, I'm not THAT old but this album seriously reminds me of that one time I crowd surfed during the anti-flag set at my first Warped Tour... when the only thing that mattered was how much fun I could pack into one epic day). Existentialism aside, this album is awesome and you should be buying it right now. Or at least check it out on the MYSPACE. Your life will be better after. Promise.
