Punk rock done by slackers. Reminds me of Sublime.

One of the best and newest sounding records in recent memory

"If you like HIGH ENERGY rock'n'roll WITHOUT THE HEADACHE than YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO THIS RECORD!!! It's a combination of The Police meets Greenday, but with twice the energy. The songs on the album are ALL singable and ADDICTIVE. It's hard to say which ones are the best because they're all great. Honest! "Fencesitting","Johnny Jesus","Grain of Sand", "Mom" "Deranged" and "Red Room" (I could go on) are especially notable. Lead singer Brendan Stiles takes you on a high speed thrill ride with surprising vocal wizardry and raspy seductiveness. He gets help with some severe chops from Drummer Gregg Sulzer, bassist Arthur Bacon and Guitarist Craig LeBlang. They've all combined to make one of the tightest, NEWEST SOUNDING ROCK CD's in recent memory. With a musical combination of rock, punk, jazz and reggae, this Erratics disc is far from erratic and deserves some listening. Hopefully, soon everyone will start hearing them on the radio and experience the same joy I do."
