Pick a zeitgeist topic and you’ll quickly find yourself frustrated with it all. And the one-year-old 3-track EP, ‘Balboa Sesseions’, from LA’s “slacker punk” outfit Kid Carrion gets it. From pacing the floor knowing the world is fucked, to being too self-involved to actually make a difference and all the compromises one makes to get ahead are all packed into this powerful, compacted set.
Unwritten Hate Mail to the World Baja Rock Short Bird
The band’s blend of crunchy spoken word, Warped Tour-era styled punk rock, So-Cal sun-soaked harmonies, that violin, and the pointed social commentary are all worth this near hidden gem being given a chance to shine once again. And you can stream the seriously brilliant ‘Balboa Sessions’ as well as the band’s Top Spotify Tracks, now at the GTC.
