Nuh-Uh!
\nAll My Friends
\n<\/i><\/i>(Permenent Records)
\n3.5\/5<\/p>\n

While playing a show in downtown Victoria this August, local band Nuh-Uh! surprised the audience by announcing their first EP, releasing that same night.<\/p>\n

All My Friends<\/i> stays true to the band\u2019s sound\u2014somewhere between surf punk and punk rock\u2014while at the same time managing to add something new after two years of playing live.<\/p>\n

\u201cEden Loves Dirt,\u201d the album\u2019s opening track, shows this right away by fitting a bit of brass into the post-chorus, replacing the tune that would typically be vocalized. The trumpet and trombone manage to set the song apart from its live version, standing out in a way that makes the song more memorable.<\/p>\n

Despite this, Nuh-Uh!\u2019s main vocalist Josje Bee Kelly still gets to show that her singing is on point. The album\u2019s lyrics circle around teenage troubles, being authentically juvenile without making it feel any less real, much thanks to Kelly\u2019s delivery.<\/p>\n

The skilled instrumentation, along with the friendly 20-minute runtime, keeps most of the album ideal for casual listening; topics that might feel melodramatic in other contexts feel energizing here, without getting too loud for the average listener. I\u2019ve found myself listening to All My Friends<\/i> a lot as background music, and while there is enough lyrically to connect deeper, it has its limits as a short EP.<\/p>\n

Turning up the volume isn\u2019t beyond this album, though; it\u2019s just used sparingly. \u201cEyes Wide Shut\u201d sees the electric guitar much louder for its ending, giving a needed weight to the song\u2019s frustrations, while the end of \u201cChalice\u201d adds distorted sounds that create a feeling of static as the EP winds down to a close.<\/p>\n

All My Friends<\/i> speaks earnestly on shallow or unavailable partners, people acting out, and messy relationships, setting the drama to music that\u2019s easy to enjoy. Despite the adolescent topics, the album makes itself quite palatable while maintaining Nuh-Uh!\u2019s personality and finally bringing them to streaming platforms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
