(review) Late Show – ‘Late Show’

Late Show are hailing from Seattle and this is their new EP containing four songs. The music of Late Show can be described as a kind of mixture between noisy and raw garage punk rock with more melodic punk. ‘Cold Beer, White Pills’ is your typical raw garage punk song with some grungy influences in couple of song parts, especially in guitar riffing. ‘Pizza, Beaches & Weed’ is what I said above, keeping raw garage punk touch but also having more melodic vocal lines and sing along chorus so stupid that you catch yourself singing along to it. ‘Watchin’ You’ has more dirty rock ‘n roll overtones and I would love so much if that guitar was a bit more distorted and having more explosive and buzzing sound than that. This record earns more to seventies punk rock than more contemporary punk that is being played. ‘College Education’ is the weirdest song on the record and at times reminded me of Fugazi and similar bands, but maybe it is only me. This EP was somehow not my cup of tea, so to say, with me being fan of more melodic and faster stuff.
