Description:
There seems to be no respite from the on-going onslaught of pounding precision popcore that continues to expectorate its way out of Los Angeles and into our grimy little lives. And the latest three-piece approximation of Green Day's over-familiar punk chops to hove into view are Osker who, it has to be addressed, aren't exactly breaching any time-honoured artistic boundaries on Treatment 5. Three-chord clarion riffs blur by predictably, vocals sneer in the accepted brattish style and lyrically, too, we're in distinctly familiar territory. You'll know in advance exactly what to expect from such pumped-up paeans to abject nihilism

Three-chord clarion riffs blur by predictably, vocals sneer in the accepted brattish style and lyrically, too, we're in distinctly familiar territory. You'll know in advance exactly what to expect from such pumped-up paeans to abject nihilism as "I Cannot", "Useless", "Falling Apart" and "Life Sucks"--but, when push comes to shove, you'll love them all the same. Oh sure it's formulaic, but it's a formula that irrefutably works, and while innovation's all very well in its place, who could really ask for a finer soundtrack to forthright adolescent angst?--Ian Fortnam
