MUCH THE SAME - Quitters Never Win {Lockjaw} Chicago scenesters since 1999 with an album released on Nitro in 2006, this is a fully remastered reissue of the band’s debut album (and first time on vinyl) that was released in 2003 on AF Records. You get 12 tracks that feature that Fat Wreckish sound of late 90s but with something a tad more aggressive - think NO USE FOR A NAME fused with PENNYWISE and some GRADE-esque backing vocals. Highlights would be ‘Wish’ that could easily have been on a GOOD RIDDANCE album, the fluid riffing of ‘Masquerade’ and ‘Still Falling’ which again recalls GOOD RIDDANCE and could well be the album’s best with some heavy duty riffing and a great chorus. Competent stuff but kinda generic of that Fat/ Skate Punk sound of the era and sounding, well, pretty much the same... (12.02.21)
