Gainer's punk tendencies shine through the group's pop-rock stance, instantly tagging the band as a mix between Face to Face, Hot Water Music, and Bad Religion. The 10-track offering by this Alabama-based quartet treads the line between '70s hard rock, Mid-Atlantic punk, and driving, murky pop, especially on tracks like the bass-heavy "Ghostman on 2nd" and the fast-paced, post-grunge of "No Help Needed". Gainer's delivery isn't dynamic, but it's rock solid, as everyone in the group stays in the pocket and services the songs with conviction. |
