Bambies - Snotty Angels

Alright, kids! Montreal's finest slingers of ultra-energetic poppy punk rock are back at it on the appropriately titled Snotty Angels. Out on Wanda Records and Spaghetty Town Records, this is the sophomore long player from Bambies — a band I find super underrated in the punk rock world. Sami, Franki, and Feli do not mess around on this release. They blast out 15 tracks of blistering, snotty-as-heck punk rock 'n' roll with pop hooks for days. If you're looking for a fun album to get you bopping and hopping, this is it! A punk band's sophomore album can be a tricky endeavor. If you show too much growth, they'll say you lost the plot. If you show no growth, they'll say you just made the same album twice. Bambies have navigated this situation well. Snotty Angels doesn't mess with a winning formula, but nor is it a copy of 2021's Summer Soon. If anything, they've stepped it up with this release. This is a catchier, more diverse set of songs, and the energy level of the music has not dipped even a little. Any fan of old school punk-pop will be well served to pick this record up.
