Post - Nothing
Album · Alternative · 2009 · Polyvinyl Records
Hooks and heartache from the noisy Vancouver duo. Anthemic without sounding angsty, Post-Nothing strips pop-punk down to its rudiments: Two dudes, drums and guitar, plenty of yelling. The surprise is how fleet the melodies are and how catchy the songs, whether it’s the gang-chorus refrains of “Wet Hair” or the exhilarating “Young Hearts Spark Fire.” Like a rock garden, it’s all simple until, suddenly, it’s not.
