#2015 Charlie and the Moonhearts / Teen Anger - Split EP

As a Mikal Cronin fan, I came for Charlie // Moonhearts, and they win the split.

6 tracks of surf-flecked punkrockabilly turned to 11. In the spirit Coachwhips via just-reviewed Epsilons, they rip and roar like a wave ride gone wrong, crashing into rocks, exploding with concussion starshow.

Goddamn the Cronin/Segall/Dwyer crew was doing some good shit in the 00's.
Teen Anger pitch in 5 more tracks and they're good, sleazy punk stompers, plus some breakneck plunges, but they're upstaged, sounding familiar by comparison. Still good fun - you'll get your 26 minutes-worth 4/5
