“I’d rather be alive than pissed off and dead” seems like a statement that’s either obvious or quizzical (can you be pissed off while you’re dead?) but makes for a truly fun repeated chorus. The song ambles in with a macabre sounding series of hits before settling into a tight post punk groove a la The Feelies or Television, a dark, minor key dirge. It hits the chorus hard, half sung half screamed in way that alternately evokes early Modest Mouse and Richard Hell. This punky band brings a promising take on early New York punk without getting too corny, there is obviously good taste happening here and I’d certainly rather listen to this than be pissed off and/or dead.
