17 Years Review

by Mike DaRonco

When one thinks of GMM Records, it's immediately associated with gruff street punk, drunken oi! punk and a bunch of hardguys/girls that could take on anybody that merely gave them a wrong look. 17 Years don't fit this description at all. Rather, we got this rock out power-pop that could be compared to the likes of Cheap Trick or the Muffs. Not that any of this is light hearted or corny -but admittingly, the fact that a lot of this album sounds the same can make this pretty boring at times- rather this is some of the catchiest three-chord punk that doesn't stretch over into the boundaries of cheesy pop-punk.
