A Vile Display of Humanity - Self-Titled
The group begins its album with what sounds like a political rant with "Minimum Wage." Jake Youngberg and Doug Mitchell trade off on led vocals. It's tough to always pick up on what they're singing about. These are angrily screamed vocals. They're like the rantings and ravings of madmen, and those sorts of things are rarely decipherable.
On the plus side, it's always good to hear straight ahead punk rock music. This because it's real, human music. It's not the stuff of, say, EDM, where it seems as though a monkey could program much of that. Rather, these are truly passionate people pouring their blood, sweat and tears into their songs.
This is also not that annoying pop-punk either, which is an oxymoron if there ever was one. You're either punk, or you're not. A Vile Display of Humanity are punk, all the way.
