    Rot is the kind of album only a band with a full grasp of rock & roll history could have made--no doubt they've worn out a copy or two of Radios Appear in their time--and it should appeal to anyone who likes their punk scrappy as can be with a bunch of wiry pop mixed in, too.

    The band sell their introspection by marrying it to convincingly urgent music. It’s also a lot of fun; all the flying guitar chords and thumping beats inevitably quicken pulses.

    It fizzes with pent-up power and singalong choruses. [Jan 2018, p.18]

    If maturity is on the Bad Boys’ lyrical agenda on the sardonically titled Rot, letting up the pace is not.
