86’d Records, Rad Girlfriend Records, Drunken Sailor Records, No Breaks Records, Throwing THings Records, and On The Real Records has been cool enough to bring us this new split from Rad Company and Tight Bros. Two great pop punk bands on one rad slab of vinyl. The fist Rad Company song ‘Hang In There’ is one of the best I’ve heard from the band, it’s fast and catchy as hell. The second one ‘Under The Blade’ doesn’t quite hit the high mark left by the previous song but it’s a damn good one too, I’ll even go ahead and say both of these songs are the best stuff I’ve heard from this band yet. Tight Bros is a band I recently got into right before their LP dropped and I’ve been hooked since the first time I’ve heard them. The first song ‘Not What You Asked For’ is pretty catchy but it gets a bit repetitive, I think it’d have been much better if it’d been cut in half. Their second song ‘Trapped In My Head’ is exactly the type of song that got me hooked on Tight Bros. It’s got the distinctive guitar song, it’s quick and fast and catchy. It sounds like the entire song is so tightly wound it’s about to snap. It’s really great. Anyone that digs good pop punk should be all over this one because it’s filled with the good stuff!

Dayton, Ohio’s most prolific punk band, Rad Company, create frentic pop-punk that combines two part vocal harmonies, catchy guitar leads, and pulse quickening percussion to fuel booze-soaked circle pits. In addition, lead singer Josh Goldman has been pressing fine punk wax with his girlfriend Brandi Smith under the Rad Girlfriend records umbrella. Following the band’s tours of Japan and the Midwest.
