Dead American Radio

The West Coast punk rock band's second album is an agreeably varied collection of Clash-influenced country raveups, frantic ska, and anthemic singalong choruses. The declamatory "The Sinner" nails the band's punk rock colors to the mast, while "Every Night"'s crowd-pleasing chorus is underpinned by vintage Farfisa organ and floorboard-rattling bass, and the title track echoes both the Clash and Elvis Costello in its sneering hostility to corporate pillaging of the nation's airwaves.
