Band Review: Direct Hit!


Direct Hit! are the most punk thing I have listened to lately: fun and obnoxious.

I was checking them out based on the recommendation of The All-American Rejects' Mike Kennerty, in commemoration of his birthday next week.

I appreciate the way Direct Hit! is capable of hardcore but does not overdo it; that can become old very quickly.

Their execution is fresh and enjoyable. Even looking at the tempo and length of most songs, it feels very traditionally punk, but nothing feels dated.

For the obnoxious part, you know, either it will bother you or it won't. If traditional punk sounds good to you, you can probably live with it.

I enjoyed the band.
