In a time when it's not only accepted but seemingly
encouraged and even applauded for underground independent bands to get their
music licensed for video games, car commercials, energy drink sponsorships
and shit knows what else, it's nice to know some bands still stand against
all that big deal bullshit. The Credentials are one of these bands. Ideals
aren't dead and neither is punk. Goocher is the band's second album
and it's stacked full of anthems shouted out against the bullshit we all see
and deal with in day to day life. They don't get all preachy or pretentious
with it either. They sing from the heart and go for the guts on every track.
Musically The Credentials fall somewhere between the east bay sound of the
'90s not unlike Crimpshrine and Pinhead Gunpowder and more modern bands like
Chinese Telephones and Witches With Dicks. Mix all that up with a little '77
street punk style and crunchy pop punk jams and that's how Goocher is
gonna rock you. |
