 "Their music doesn’t shine but it’s valuable, it doesn’t seek to appear because it’s already concrete."

 "What sets these five Oregon guys apart … is a keen melodic ability, never predictable and as variable as a London sky."

 Thank heaven this EP somewhat diverges from the debut’s sound.

 Nothing special this EP, although much more appreciable than the debut.

The reviewer finds Girls' debut album mediocre but notes the Broken Dreams Club EP offers some musical growth. The EP features tender tones and varied instrumentation like trumpets and country guitars. While some tracks show promise, inconsistency and lack of lasting impact persist. Overall, it's an improvement but not a standout. Explore Girls’ Broken Dreams Club EP to hear their evolving sound and decide if it resonates with you.

 If this is the result of a group considered dead, I’m sorry to have to contradict the detractors, because this is a proper punk-rock album, clean, no frills, like I haven’t heard in a long time.

 The best episodes are those where the old blends with the profane irreverence of the Bloc Party/Libertines style.

The Futureheads' fourth album, The Chaos, delivers an energetic punk revival filled with references to punk legends like The Clash and The Ramones. Despite the band's uneven previous work, this album excites with its clean production and mixture of old-school influences and modern punk styles. Notable tracks blend classic sounds with fresh, irreverent flair. The review praises the album as a strong, no-frills punk record worth listening to. Listen to The Futureheads' The Chaos and experience a fresh, energetic revival of classic punk rock!
