Well done psych-punk debut.

On their debut album, Montreal-based band PYPY (like the Greek letter you‰’d recognize from math class) marry psychedelic rock and classic punk. With elements ranging from shredding 60s-style guitar solos to hard, fast, repetitive 70s punk riffs to sex, drugs, and of course rock n‰’ roll, this album has it all. The band switches off between co-lead vocalists, one female and one male, which gives these tracks just the right amount of attitude and flair. Serious lyrics exist among more playful ones, as well as experimental instrumentation along with more traditional rock styles. If psych rock is a little too psychedelic and punk rock is a little too hardcore, you‰’ll find this album has just the middle ground you‰’re looking for,
