Were we to hackily call Curb Stomp Earth (Beach Impediment/Black Water) the record that Portland’s Long Knife always wanted to make, this would be to pass over their earlier career, where they wanted to make records that sounded like Poison Idea and very little else. Well, I like that, at least when it ends up sounding like this month’s first two albums. People (in punk) hate it when their friends become successful, this much is established, but what they do like is when those friends make huge honking records fit to be blasted into rusty arena rafters everywhere… while, crucially, not actually going on to do so.
