Bad Sports - Constant Stimulation - Vinyl Record

Vinyl LP pressing. 2018 release. Texas trio Bad Sports release their fourth full-length to Dirtnap and with it, push their sound into a more modern sphere of punk. Orville Neeley (guitars/vocals), Daniel Fried (bass/vocals) and Gregory Rutherford (drums) have spent over ten years together and this progression is justified. This time, the production quality is more lean and tense, giving an air that is decidedly frustrated, and more world-weary, but is still the great stripped-down classic-leaning punk band with deep power-pop vs. Proto-punk undercurrents. They are not a "retro" band, however, Constant Stimulation is simply a timeless-yet-modern masterpiece.
