Munster's Sandy Beach seem to have been thrown in Old School Punk, I get that a little. Marie Von Medipops does get very close to vintage Buzzcocks, wonderfully so. But for the most part, the Sandy Beach EP reminds me more of the UK New Wave that followed Punk.
That time sorted out the bands that could play and were a little more melodic than shouty. The other three songs fit this description perfectly. Opening with a great Guitar Intro that completely sucks you in. The riffs are awesome too.
There is high energy here with memorable choruses. There may be attitude, but it is tempered by some wonderful playing and memorable choruses. Stay Strong is probably the best example of this, but the intro to Sandy Beach just grips you completely.
Sedated By The Television gets close to Pop Punk instrumentally, but thankfully without the robotic talky vocal that tends to make that genre formulaic. There's great pace and energy and songs that you just can't help sing along to. A fine effort and I hope to hear more in the new future.
You can listen to and buy the EP here. It is available on Cassette or as a download.
