Songwriting that resonates with stark, angular tension also manages to be compellingly tuneful, well thought out with a focus on melody that's indelible but not cloyingly sweet. Woven into taut layers of guitar, dirty and raw and assertively delivered without excessive tonal or technical wankery, the whole thing underpinned by a no-bullshit, steady driving rhythm section. RIYL Jehu, cracked ribs.
