Davey Quiggle's understated illustration skills jumped up yet another level for the cover art of Evergreen Terrace's Losing All Hope is Freedom full-length. And the hooky tuff-guy hardcore with metal riffs and double pump action drums (don't ask me, I'm just as confused, but for real . . . very catchy songs . . . weird) enclosed is not slouch, either.

Highly recommended for the gas mask, bandanna, and windmill set, and other people, too.

If the first and last songs have these kind of…Similar sounding releases
