More local pop-punk, this time from Swindon.

Despite having plenty stacked against it, this is looking increasingly like it is this the genre that refuses to die, which is no bad thing. This record, the band’s debut, is exactly what you want from that genre – upbeat, melodic and fun with contagious hooks, crunching guitars and thumping rhythms. It is pacey too; it shifts along at a hell of rate, the songs not hanging round long enough to be anything other than catchy and leaving you wanting more. I wasn’t really expecting to like this quite as much as I do, which is always a nice experience. Surprises like this are what is so great about new music. Get it at: www.withghosts.bigcartel.com
