First Jesse & the Rockers, now The Backups... a lot of good punk rock coming outta Alabama these days. Vocals are good & harsh (a la Rancid), with some expected, albeit well-played, punk rock drums, and the guitars really shine. This isn't a three-chord wanna-be band. There are real solos by a real guitarist, who sneaks in a few classic rock riffs here & there. Songwriting isn't bad either, nice tight starts & stops.
