Comments

A butt load of my friends listen to Arctic Monkeys, I'm used to the electronic dance shit they churn out, and that's what I was expecting.

However, I was hit with a wave of one of my favourite rock genre's: 

Garage Rock.

I love garage rock. The dirtiness, the "screw it, jot it down", the attitude...There's just so much shit to it. You can smell the house party and ripped clothes.

The songs are really good, but sometimes they felt a little drawn out. Not the Artists fault, it's my own personal opinion on the repetitiveness flaw in every music. It's just the blast from newer music.
