This four track EP is a sort of weird punk-pop-dub fusion with plenty of nice ideas and happy sounding melodies. Leading track ‘Howl…’ lets itself down badly though as its almost impossible to make out the lyrics, and an awkward time change towards the end does it no favours either. ‘Don’t Wanna Be’ is a cheeky wee dub number but the standout track is ‘Junkiestarsnothing’, a slice of infectious melodic guitar pop – full of energy but again a lack of vocal confidence takes the sheen off slighty. A dub version of this track rounds things off but ultimately it falls slightly short of what you feel it could be.
