Young and old

As we get closer to the headliner, we get closer to the headliner's style. Montreal's Old School Politics pop-punk is in the same vein as Useless Id's. In this case, what you see is what you get: Plenty of speedy popcore with a big debt to acknowledge influences No Use For A Name and Blink-182.


Marc-Antoine "Torsh" Turgeon prepares to whistle up some licks.
