Good Ol’ Fashioned Punk: a Listen to “Strangers” by Burn Affect
If you like straightforward punk, then Burn Affect is here to deliver. Reminiscent of NOFX or Bad Religion, Burn Affect has a well-mixed modern sound with traditional punk instrumentals. Catchy hooks, driving guitar lines, and punchy drums underscore blunt lyrics and carry a no-frills album that gets your feet stomping and your head banging.
“Strangers” has all of the elements that one would expect in a driving punk album. Overdriven guitar, thick bass, and assertive drums pair with gravelly vocals in a way that’s true to form. The mix is mid-heavy like most punk albums and carries the aesthetic well. Burn Affect is tight and everything is locked in instrumentally.
Raise your Old Style, PBR, or Fireball to the sound of “Strangers.” With thoughtful, slow moments on “Snow Day” and “In Mourning” and mosh-ripe energy on “Cabbie” and “Old Style,” the album is versatile, traditional punk that’s great for casual listening or for parties.
