Best of 2017 #10: Gun Control - Volume 1 (Independent)

Getting a late start to the Top 10 albums countdown and review, but we're at it anyway...

Gun Control are a brand new group from our of Vancouver. Self-described as a noise-rock band, they're much more than that. They've got a melodic take on indy rock, merging that with a grungy, sloppy punk sound. Looking for bands they sound like: think early R.E.M, but with clearer vocals, The Thermals, complete with oddball Hutch Harris style vocals, The Connells, ("City of No" sounds a lot like "Stone Cold  Yesterday"), the melodic side of Sleater-Kinney maybe?

Volume 1 is available on Bandcamp at a the "Name Your Price" option, so give them some cash so they can keep making music!
