Neighborhood Brats, “No Sun No Tan (Deranged, 2013)
Current, female-fronted punk band in a late-‘70s West-Coast style – compressed, snarling, and melodic, with serrated guitar sound and a snotty attitude. Excellent stuff with a tossed-off sensibility that actually feel really contemporary.
Try 1/3, 1, 5.
9/6/13

Neighborhood Brats, “Recovery” (Deranged, 2014)
New full-length from this female-fronted act plying the borderlands of garage-punk and old-school-L.A.-style melodic hardcore. Wall-rattling treble guitar driven by frantically caroming drums provide a backdrop for feral vocals telling tales of urban desperation.
Try 1/ 4, 1/ 5, 1/ 6, 2/ 1, 2/ 2, 2, 6
