Musical gratitude in a punk candy wrapper.

The guitar growls like a neighbor upstairs with a drill, but inside there is nothing but warmth and gratitude. Jokes about lamps, food, and Tubi sound like family stories, where every line is a wink: “those in the know will understand.” There's heavy chugging, a guitar hero with a solo that reaches the ceiling, and even birds with “Nintendo” calls.

And all for one simple realization: sometimes real power isn't loud words, but lamps in a room, a tidy house, and a Suzuki Samurai in the yard. It turned out noisy, ridiculous, and very homely.
