BUNDLES: Deaf Dogs: LP
May 23, 2018 Read, Record Reviews
I mean, the end of 2018’s a ways away, but damn if Deaf Dogs isn’t contending for album of the year for me. Holy cow. I loved last year’s split LP with Dan Webb & The Spiders, and now there’s twelve new songs to freak out over. They’re short, compact, frantic, rough-hewn, ferocious and catchy songs, and just about perfect. See, Bundles—and this is important, folks—is one of those bands in which I have zero idea as to what they’re saying, but they say it with such emotion and conviction that I am wholeheartedly convinced anyway. “If I’m convicted, I’ll resign. But I’ve killed all the judges and it feels right. Now I’m taking hostages and bullet wounds and all I think about—you just move the way I like.” I… you got me, guys. No fucking clue what you mean in any of this stuff, but there is such inherent, unbridled passion in these twelve songs, and buoyancy and joy and anger and teeth, that I just love it anyway. Catchy and fierce and recommended. I really hope they tour here. Punk. –Keith Rosson (Gunner USA)
MRR #420:
BUNDLES – “Deaf Dogs” LP
The first LP from this Boston, MA melodic punk rock band. The record starts with “Lorem Ipsum,” first punch thrown and we’re off to a great start. Initial thought: this vocalist has a fucking amazing voice! Second thought: these guys are great at making really catchy music intense as fuck. Even though it’s mostly mid-tempo or even slower at times, I love it! The music itself reminds me of OFF WITH THEIR HEADS, but the vocalist has more of a high-pitched voice that is still really throaty. Pretty fucking great! This is issue #420, so at the risk of sounding like an idiot I’m gonna say this is record is top shelf. My suggestion if you like pop punk is to put on your headphones and crank this one up to full volume—I promise you won’t regret it. (DB)
