Sharkpact's songs are gritty, wall-of-sound pop-punk anthems made with only a keyboard, a drum kit, and two voices. Camille McCarthy and Jefferson Doyle—members of the (seemingly) late, great folk-punk outfit Hail Seizures—combine to make visceral, in-your-face music that's as familiar as it is unusual. The melodies and personal-as-political lyrics share ground with Rumbletowne Records labelmates RVIVR, and the distorted keyboard adds textures of '80s goth-punk and new wave, while their vocals sound like they're still in an un-mic'd folk-punk band shouting to be heard on a street corner. Usually when I hear sing-along pop punk, I can only think about how much I would have liked it in high school. Sharkpact I like now. JOSHUA JAMES AMBERSON
