Reviews:
Environmental Youth Crunch's "Vicious Fishes" could be their best by far. What’s that you say, our favorite”eco-punks” at it again with doses of catchy riffs set to pop-punk paces denouncing all forms of degradation and destruction? Well not so much, and lay off the “eco-punk” please. Continuing maturation and transformation finds some things that are familiar in vocal and musical arrangement, while at the same time announcing the beginning of a new era for these fine gentlemen. Recorded by Lenny Rutland in late spring of 2008.  The first 3 songs on this cassette will be on a split 7” with Richmond’s Mouthcreather, out on Rorschach Records. Side B has songs that Jacob recorded himself. This cassette is EYC’s most diverse material. It also includes some tasty covers!

Environmental Youth Crunch is an awesome, sloppy pop punk band from Florida in the vein of The Bananas. The crunchy lyrics are a bit much at times, but this cassette got me excited enough that I’m definitely going to check out their other releases. The folksy words won’t make you start recycling if you aren’t already, but the rocking tunes will remind you of a time when cassettes and pop punk ruled the earth. This killer split label release from Dead Tank Records and The People’s Republic Of Rock And Roll is well worth seeking out.
