Tucson’s finest contemporary punk band, CLASS, is back with another instant classic. The pace and swagger with which they are building a discography for the ages is awe-inspiring.
The album art for A Healthy Alternative instantly transports you to the ’70s, evoking the iconic Kubrick adaptation of A Clockwork Orange — and the music follows suit. This is punk from another era, played by musicians with the technical chops to take on any genre they choose. That they’ve chosen punk rock makes the world a better place. CLASS blends raw energy and attitude with a level of musicianship that elevates the genre.
When the band belts out “I’m not an idiot, and neither are you,” it’s impossible not to raise your fist and feel a part of their world. Their cover of The Scabs’ 1979 scorcher Amory Building only adds to their cool factor.
On A Healthy Alternative, CLASS even go meta with the track The Hits Are Here To Stay — a bold statement backed up by every song on this record. Press play, and you’ll find CLASS doesn’t just meet expectations, they keep raising the bar.
LP out now on Feel It Records.
