If you’re gonna be punk you either have two choices, really: Take as aggressive a political stance as you can and thrash against authority or be as whacked out funny as you can muster.
Adrenalin O.D. chooses the latter and we are all better for it.
Yes, they thrash and bash and shout and all of that, but their sense of laceratingly dumb humor is spot on. It’s almost as if they know there’s no groupies and airplanes in this and that they are each gonna end up either selling insurance or taking over their parents’ import/export business and they don’t really care. It’s about angst and being as stoopid as possible. These guys either are or are trying to be the east coast version of The Dickies.
They succeed.
Much better than last year’s offering.
