ALBUM REVIEW: Bleeding Knees Club

By Victoria Nava TOP TRACK: "BEACH SLUT" BOTTOM TRACK: "PROBLEM CHILD"

The Australian band’s debut album is the perfect fix for our lo-fi obsession. “Beach Slut” starts off like a drunken lullaby from your dream punk boyfriend—think Darby Crash of The Germs. With songs like “Girls Can Do Anything,” and lyrics about scumbags getting drunk in the park (“Problem Child”), I can’t help but want to tend to the limbs of the Bleeding Knees Club. Bringing back the gritty punk that Wavves lost on the path to selling out, BKC is the new flavor of the year.
