INDIE BAND OF THE WEEK: A CRIMINAL RISK
Ever since 2008, this New Jersey band has been working tediously to keeping punk alive. Influenced by everyone in between Bobby Fuller and Blink-182, they keep the aggressiveness, but infuse it with choruses and a guitar riff that sets up shop in your head, and refuses to leave.

The name says it all for the Finnish quartet – an album potentially full of cliché horror punk lyrics, themes, music and just another band to laugh at for having a rather ludicrous name.

Some of us weathered those days; some of us watched it happen around us but never experienced it.

However you wrap it up, these words speak true to the grander majority of us who dare to declare ourselves Gen Xers.

It is good to see a band spend time and effort on a B-side collection, unlike most bands or record labels that push out these collections to either generate money for the label or buzz for an upcoming record, Kylesa have spent over a year going through their back catalogue to produce a wondrous accumulation of material that will satisfy die hard fans and new fans alike.
