Jul 11, 2016No Grace is the sound of a band surpassing the bands on their T-shirts in terms of cultural relevance and effortlessness.
-
Jun 20, 2016An album that retains much of the vitality and vigour of the band’s previous releases, but where those albums were coloured by a fresh-faced excitement and in the invincibility of youth, No Grace is the sound of band who’ve discovered that life is fleeting, so they’re taking it for what it’s got.
-
Jun 20, 2016What makes No Grace feel most like a breezy treat is its fatalistic slant, as Phillip Taylor’s lyrics weigh up life’s daily struggles before concluding that they’re just not worth the worry.
-
Jun 20, 2016No Grace is raw, quick and dirty, just as rock 'n roll was always intended. Glorious stuff.
-
Jun 21, 2016Where circumstance sometimes has a way of completely crumbling a band, PAWS persevered, grew, and turned out an especially fun and heartfelt release that also happens to be one of their best.
-
Jun 30, 2016After sinking your claws into this offering from PAWS one thing will become certain, their ramshackle approach to delivering scuzzy punk rock drenched in delicious distortion is enough to make anyone short of breath.
-
Jun 20, 2016While the added mainstream polish, hooky melodies, and guidance from blink-182's bassist do make No Grace sound distinctly like a big pop-punk record, PAWS' attitude here is ultimately more sober as they trade in some of the wit and exuberance of their earlier outings for more adult-oriented themes.
-
Jun 20, 2016No Grace is a short and concise album that's quick on its points: do your best, don't give up and have some fun.
-
Jun 20, 2016As an experiment, No Grace could go further. But PAWS continue to have fuzz defining their every step.
