Anyway these 15 tracks are lo-fi diy punk songs with a wide range of random topics. Everyone sings and these are songs meant to sing a long with. Best songs are Citizen's Arrest, This Dense Life, and May Day. I like Matty Pop Chart and Erin Tobey. I have a feeling they're next. I have most of these albums already upped and wouldn't mind sending them...
