Nightmarathons - Missing Parts

Nightmarathons are so damn impossible to pigeonhole into a genre that isn't just "good fucking punk rock". At times they'll be blaring through with that fuzzy, wave-of-sound, gang vocal intensity of a band like Iron Chic or Penske File ("Waiting Room", "Comeback", and "Reset"), other times they'll slow it down and sound like Beach Slang if Beach Slang wasn't boring ("Cull Your Heart", "Simple"), then they'll ratchet it back into a straight-up Hot Water Music song ("Honor System"). "Closer" is one of those songs that'd be on a year-end list if I actually made one. Every time it comes on I've gotta stop what I'm doing and shout along with it. Another undeniable hit from A-F Records. They also Facetime'd their cat into their Weakerthans cover set at Fest. So, yeah. Great dudes.
