Armalite features Dan Yemin (Kid Dynamite / Lifetime / Paint It Black) on bass with Atom from that annoying band Atom and His Package on guitar and vox. Three songs of classic Lookout styled goofy punk rock that is really fun and hook laden. Vocals are switched between the nasal delivery of Atom and the more screamed gruff vocals of other guitarist Mike. Theoretically this band shouldn't work as the midas touch of Yemin might be over shadowed by Atom, but this is a really fun and catchy release. I never liked Atom and His Package, but I love I love his vocals in Armalite, especially in the song "Double Negativity". This is a fun release.
