Best of 2018: Dumb - Seeing Green (Mint)

Dumb have only been around for three years now, and already have 3 EPs and 3 full length albums to their credit. Part of the vibrant Vancouver scene, Seeing Green was a solid effort and breakout for the band, their first album for the always forward-looking Mint record label. They call themselves a punk band, but they're more a demented mix of classic, sloppy garage rock and lo-fi indie. Think The Evaporators meet Devo.
