#1007 The So So Glos - Blowout

Blowout spends about 30 seconds worshiping the 90's before it shatters into the 00's, exploding kaleidoscopic and crashing through a hall of mirrors of bratty poppunk, Japandroids soaring, hothotheat post-ska, Devo-via-Polysics spazism, Futureheads-via-Dananananakroyd shitkicking couldntgiveafuck, with a blownout snare kick popping the whole thing off careening, and closing Lost Weekend, bookending those tracks as a killer four-part opening epic disguised as 4 songs, before the title track's blunt instrument raveup shatters any shell of pretension. On and on it goes, gone before it's here, pure reflection building memories out of memories, grasping for the now and the now and the now 4/5
