Alright here's a release from It's Alive Records that I just had to get in. Both bands on this split absolutely rule! The Brokedowns are an insanely underrated band from the mid-west of the United States who play a gruff yet melodic brand of punk rock that is utterly their own! Keep a beer on standby when listening to these dudes.
Vacation Bible School have sort of a 90's pop-punk/punk rock sound. It's a little more straight forward than The Brokedowns (who are very difficult to describe as it is) but bloody hell, they do what they do well! Raspy vocals, fast paced, snotty.
This split is an awesome match up of two truly overlooked bands.
