    This is Huntingtons at their best on a few of these songs. These songs are super catchy. Some of them are my favorite songs since "Sweet Sixteen." A lot of these songs are really fun and upbeat. Of course its Ramonsey and Screeching Weaselish - and for me that's a good thing. There are a few that aren't as good as the other ones, but there are some real winners on this split. Sonically there's no real weaknesses on the recording. I pretty much give Huntingtons high marks on most of their stuff and this is no exception. Darlington suffers a bit on this just because they follow the Huntingtons on this CD so you can't help but compare the two. While Darlington isn't bad, their punk rock isn't quite as together as the Huntingtons.

These guys have done a few tours together and pretty much fit into the same vein of the genre. Huntingtons give us a few more "Get Lost/Plastic Surgery" sounding songs, some more bad boy rock,…
