Pentimento/Young
English – Split
This is a very exciting release for these two young NY
emotional punk bands. Both Pentimento’s Wrecked, and Young English’s I Hate My Friends showed promise, but
left room for improvement in the future.
Simply calling the four new respective tracks from each band an
“improvement” would be an understatement, and a rather large one at that. The songwriting maturity featured on each
half of the split is unrivaled by other bands in the genre. Each side is littered with unforgettable
moments, like the melodic “breakdown” (if you will), in “No Apology,” and the
infectious hook in “So Long, Connecticut.”
