Still Insane
Black Sheep
(Thousand Islands Records)
3/5
Black Sheep is the third EP by the Quebec-born skate punk band Still Insane. The five-piece has been making music together since 2006, although they haven’t released a full-length since Never an Off in 2012.
The lyrics are raw and simple, especially in “Sleeping on the Floor.” I believe there is something we can all relate to in at least one of the songs on Black Sheep. What the EP lacks in elaborate lyrics it makes up for in quality instrumentation and awesome guitar riffs. The best example of this is the final song, “Thank You.”
All the songs share the same sound and fit together well on this EP. Black Sheep is definitely worthy of your headbangs, and Still Insane definitely lives up to their skate punk reputation here. Hopefully that long-awaited second full-length will drop sooner rather than later, because I’m looking forward to what they put out next.
