When I first got my hands on their s/t ep I was truly taken back by all 3 well constructed catchy punk tunes. So when I heard they had put together a full length i had to get my hands on it and once again this band captures something special. Nuclear Family are based out of Albany NY a town that i have been to twice, both times it was wet and gloomy(in the summer)its a city that feels smaller then most and not very busy. It seem as though at one point Albany had the noise of a major cramped city but now it has stopped. The short time i was there it felt almost like it was deserted. The sound this group produces reflects their town perfectly.
The album delivers the same quality as the 7". No drastic changes are made and the band seems to stick with a formula but not so much that your going to hear the same song twice. Theres a good mix of gripping songs with heavy riffs and quick somewhat upbeat toe tappers. Like the 7" everything has a haunting sound thats perfect for the female vocals to float over.
So all though there is no break through in the bands sound or song structure this LP still makes for a great listen and i feel is the bands finest hour. Seems like not too many bands can hack the full length format but Nuclear Family shines which is what Lps are for in my opinion.
Tour press on Loud Punk.
