I’ll leave it to you to decide which one of these guys is called Frank and which one is Earnest. What I can tell you is that this Lansing, Michigan outfit plays some pretty solid punkrock tunes on their EP that are both frank and earnest.
Call it gritty pop-punk or Midwestern beer belly despair rock, it sticks and while they aren’t exactly reinventing the wheel with songs about drinking and relationships gone wrong, they bring their material with so much energy and honesty, that you can’t help but get sucked in. I still haven’t figured out if the lo-fi recording is a positive (it does provide more of a raw sheen) or a negative (it doesn’t sound as crispy as would like) but fuck it, the songs on here are good and the lyrics are even better.
Score: 7 out of 10
