This one fell through the cracks, and I am not sure why. I definitely enjoyed this one a bit more than the other Thumper Punk releases (which are all generally good quality to begin with). Christ’s Sake has a faster punk style with higher pitch vocals than usual – the label described them as Orange County punk. My ears hear them mixing a bit of melodic rock and alternative into the mix with some vocal styles that you usually don’t run into with punk music. Nice to hear something a bit different in the punk world – I guess you could best describe it as a bit of a pop leaning sound without treading into “pop punk” territory. The band even slows down for the occasional ballad – if that word can exist in the punk world. Being a big fan of skate punk, my favorite track would be the short “Let’s Skate” naturally – a song that finds the band showing off their skate punk chops nicely.
