Fake Tyrants have plenty of room to unleash a sonic onslaught, but instead chose a more refined approach. There’s a definitive thunder in their music, but it serves to underscore their nervous swagger. The restraint used, when they could easily be annihilating their instruments, creates urgent, infectious punk-rock. The rumble on their debut album facilitates a vehicle for social commentary that’s easily danceable if you’re not too caught up clenching your fists.
