Denver quartet Bad Year are named after a Sicko song (ICYMI and off-topic: Sicko announced the reissue of four of their albums last week) but judging by the cover art, they might also be moonlighting as Skid Row superfans. The tracklist doesn’t hide it either —Youth Gone Mild is a pretty hilarious nod to Youth Gone Wild, and yes, they actually belt out that iconic chorus in the album’s final moments.
While Bad Year doesn’t reinvent the wheel, it delivers solid melodic punk rock packed with ’90s nostalgia. Fans of the era will appreciate itsfamiliar vibe and execution.
The album is out now via Snappy Little Numbers and Motorcycle Potluck Records.
