Nothing Right and The Final Door has the punk roots while creating a pocket of a closer that they should be proud of. It has the rage like a Motörhead song, and the riffage of a Ramones one. There are phasing effects, some neat work overall in terms of tempo and rhythm. The groove they create truly exercises their prowess, while showing how excited they are for every song. This EP would be a great fit in the new movie The Union (2024). It brings a lot of character into the scenes and would charge the movie up like it deserves to.
