Greaser punk and surf rock from Southern California, The Buttertones do great, unique impressions of The Cramps, The Clash and The Beach Boys, injecting spaghetti western, garage rock and even a doo-wop feeling into a dark and unusual listen. An album where no 2 songs sound a like, you’re just as likely to hear a post-punk tune as you are a rockabilly one, and the album as a whole could have been made in any decade from the ’50s on, but sounds refreshing and innovative in 2017.
