Listen here! http://pottymouth.bandcamp.com/album/sun-damage-12-ep
Radio Control's one of my favorite local bands these days and they linked these loosely similar-sounding guys, though this lacks RC's particular magic. It's all chordy, shouty, repetitive punk, sounding a bit like X-Ray Specs or a less-visceral Dead Kennedys, making some interesting structural choices here and there, but mostly playing it straight.
It's tough to stand out as a punk band when your genre/scene doesn't always value innovation or cleverness highly. This is a perfectly decent local-sized punk album that doesn't manage to distinguish itself overmuch through energy or newness, though it does make a case for pretty good live show potential, and maybe that's all an EP like this needs to aspire to 3/5
