From the opening vocals of this Abort! Deport’s new song, “Twist Pack”, I immediately thought of Fat Mike and early NOFX. This is some rad ass 90’s style skate punk with a bit more rawness that helps set it apart. From the gnarly bass intro throughout the song, the band doesn’t shy away from putting the hardcore into this hardcore punk song. Clocking in a just under two minutes, the song ends with a sick guitar lead that leaves you wanting more. If you’re a fan of NOFX, Face To Face, Pennywise, The Vandals, then this shit is for you!

It’s hard to pinpoint the exact message of the song, but I’d say it there is a mixture of disillusionment, defiance, and self-awareness in it as they seem to grapple with feelings of isolation, resentment towards societal norms, and a sense of powerlessness in the face of injustice or oppression. You know. Angry punk shit.
