Sterile Jets
Liquor Store
(Yesca Rock)
3/5
Liquor Store revisits the original definition of what it means to be punk, and does it with a certain likeability. California’s Sterile Jets set out to make music that transcends musical restraint.
Trying to place this album into one genre is nearly impossible. Drawing influences from noise/art/stoner-punk and some old-fashioned metal, Liquor Store is an album that leaves the listener a little confused at times. This is, of course, not necessarily a bad thing and is probably the best aspect of this album.
The vocals resemble bands like Iron Maiden or Black Sabbath, backed by powerful punk guitar riffs inspired by Black Flag. Liquor Store is an exciting thrill-ride of an album, but nothing about it is overly memorable. I was more drawn to the experimental tracks on this record, but if you’re looking for fun punk music that concerns itself with nothing but the punk spirit, definitely give this a listen.
Dude! Ive seen Sterile Jets at a dive bar in Long Beach California, gotta say I personally really enjoyed the night! Their music is kick ass their vibe is just as kick ass and the bass guitarist shreds! If I could rate them id say about an 8 maybe even 9. Someone might say its a high rating and others might say its too low, I say my night was great and their music was a big part to that! Keep killing it Sterile Jets I cannot wait to pick up my copy of liqour store.
