Down In The Dumps - Dumps Luck LP KOD 009
Y'all know Mike Dumps is In Iron Chic and Wax Phantom now, right? Get with the program he also does Dead Broke Rekerds!
Dumps Luck sounds like a gravelly version of what once was pop punk like if someone took a CD of a pop punk band and then backed over it with a pick up truck. They have a catchiness buried under a thick coating of grit, grim, and sounds from the gutter. Under the sludge there's an enthusiasm to the whole CD that is infectious, and also a slight sarcasm that was once a standard for bands of this genre. "I hate myself but I don't want to die," declares a self-loathing yet funny at the same time. Dumps have got something here drawing inspiration from all things good from Jeff Ott, especially Chrimpshrine and Fifteen.
