    This trio from Oklahoma has not forgotten how to whip the watery sugar of melodic punk into a light and fluffy ball of cotton candy. Wit, hook, and energy collide for a fast 26 minutes and 22 seconds that'll have you reaching for the repeat button. With the massive scaling back of Five Minute Walk, it appears Philmore are free agents, and thus the indie nature of The Bare Truth About album. It's a joy to hear these guys, and I must say they sound better than ever.
