From the sunny shores of Southern California come The Carmines. Right off of their surfboard and into the studio they went to record “Older, Fatter, Wider”. Expect to hear ten songs full of distorted guitars, poppy melodies, plenty of Beach Boys-like ooh’s and aah’s. Yup, these guys wear their Ramones, Screeching Weasel and Queers influences on the sleeves of their leather jackets.
It’s not like they’re doing anything remotely new but they are pretty good at this kind of pop-punk. If you like any of the abovementioned bands, chances are you’ll dig The Carmines as well.
Score: 7 out of 10
