Indie-punk / College Rock from Richmond, Virginia.

We’re thrilled to announce Thrills on cassette from K9.

Nothing wrong with a lil’ tie-dyed punk rock! While clearly punk in ethos and approach, don’t expect any bondage pants or liberty spikes from this full-length debut. Their ideas seem to spring from a similar well as Meat Puppets, Hüsker Dü, Chronophage, or even Milk Music / Mystic 100s. In other words, the music calls to mind the optimistic promise of independent college rock in the mid ’80s, where trembling vocals, guitar jangle, jazzy drumming, and psychedelic elements could all be harvested for novel use.

When only the dumbest punks were still punks and everyone else was hoping to find a fresh direction forward, the desire to differentiate oneself was inevitable for the art-minded and curious. There’s a trans-generational likemindedness here that results in some great tunes, balancing upbeat rockers like “95x” and “Who Ya Know” with the mid-tempo pop of “A Race” and “Arms Fall Off.” It’s an easy listen that’s just the right amount of dirty: a little ripeness without the stink.
