I really enjoy the energy on this EP, and the decision for Pardoner to record this one in a living room as a back to their roots type action is one I heavily appreciate. The songs are fiery and a lot punkier than the last couple records which is also cool. With all of that said though, I definitely prefer when Pardoner leans into their more melodic tendencies, which is an aspect that definitely lacks on this EP. Overall though, its a solid set of songs!
Pretty fun punky indie rock. Woefully short for some good, fun, catchy songs and perhaps the less than stellar production makes it little more empty than deserved.
