Twenty-eight minutes of pure noise-pop bliss can best describe Male Bonding’s first full length album Nothing Hurts. Nothing Hurts is filled with fast tempos, catchy riffs, and loud abrasive in-your-face sound. This album may not set Male Bonding apart from typical noise-pop bands such as Dinosaur Jr., The Pixies, or Xiu Xiu, but it does show case their talent. It is within their use of percussion to create a metallic sound, their shredding guitars, and thick baselines Male Bonding gave to the listener’s ears a frantic ride as they play each track. If you wish to experience an energetic, slightly spastic record – lend Nothing Hurts a play and in no time you will have it on repeat.
Must listen to track: “T.U.F.F.”
