There is no excuse not to listen to the unforgiving power that is OFF!'s first EP. At just over four minutes, it gives listeners a quick, concise sonic ass kicking. This punk supergroup features ex. Circle Jerks (and at one time, Black Flag) frontman Kieth Morris delivering vocals in the exact same style the band delivers its music. Simply titled, "1st EP", their debut release already stands as the best of the year in its format.
Due to the short run time, it is easy to miss the subtle brilliance of the in-your-face songwriting on this record. Each song places Morris' classic vocals over an instrumentation that tells you to fuck yourself and spits in your face, at the same time managing to be captivating and unquestionably "badass". In fact, "badass" seems to be the crass, juvenile adjective that sums up this record. It's loud, chaotic, angry, and fun to listen to.
10/10
