If you like your punk fast mean and with a chip on its shoulder, American Distress’s debut LP will be right up your alley.

Buy this CD 

Cranking up the punk in the tradition of D.O.A. and Rancid, American Distress’ message and sound is not subtle. With Mike PSF pulling the vocal duties, A.D. stomps through 12 tracks—plus a toss-off bonus track—with their boots high and their elbows swinging. A.D.’s lyrics step on typical punk themes from life on the streets, greed, and plain-and-simple anger. Suffice to say, if you like your punk fast mean and with a chip on its shoulder, American Distress’s debut LP will be right up your alley. So the next time these guys pull through town, if you are going to stand up front, make sure you bring your baseball helmet with the double earflaps.
