We all appreciate a good warble don't we? Well the vocalist from A Fight You Can't Win has an excellent vibrato.

His rich, but suited voice backs up the punk/alt sounds on here perfectly, it's a desperate, but measured sound that sounds great, bringing to mind a more straight-laced version of Sheffield cider pop punks Pudge.

At times, there are echoes of indie and alternative acts from the last decade or so, a dash of Therapy?, a shake or two of The Wildhearts, but it's a bit more grown-up than that, think a Scottish Alkaline Trio or Jimmy Eat World. The lyrics come alive with serious, lived in feel, tales of regret and a life lived, meaning the songs are memorable.

This is an EP to blast this summer, it has enough going on to keep even the most reluctant punk fan interested.
