The Transgressions play sludgy grimy pop punk about being a fuck-up. People say they sound like Off With Their Heads but that's 'cause people are lazy and dumb. It's more like The Ramones on depressants if Joey sucked on an exhaust pipe for 30 minutes before laying down his vocal tracks -but with better guitar tones. They released what was probably the best EP of 2009 and if you don't have it yet, it's because you're old and out of touch. The Credentials are -basically -the punkest god damn band on the planet. Their songs are dirty, frantic, and hard to find on iTunes. They write about things in a way that makes me think that maybe it's still worth giving a shit (even though it so obviously isn't). Their detractors call them "Witches With Dicks Junior." I can live with that.
