It’s been a decade since
Career Suicide released their landmark debut album
, Attempted Suicide, now they are back with their sophomore album,
Machine Response, bolstered by a new line up that features two founding members, vocalist
Martin Farkas and guitarist
Jonah Falco (
Fucked Up), as well as
Dallas Good (
Sadies, Andre Williams, John Doe, Half Japanese and
Elevator to name but a few) on second guitar,
Jon Sharron on bass, and
Ian Romano on drums.
Machine Response veers in and out of pure speed, bursts of melody and chunky tempo shifts, indenting the long standing influence of early 80s USHC, late 70s punk, and a peppering of 60s swagger, with their own clearly developed style.
