If what they say about D.C. bands is true, then everything sounds like the Most Secret Method and the Most Secret Method sound like everyone else. Thanks to bands like Fugazi, Dischord is just as much the name of a genre as it is a record label. I’ve heard a couple of Fugazi and Burning Airlines songs, so I’m no expert, but if you ask me, the Most Secret Method kids kick more ass on the first three songs of Get Lovely than your average D.C. post-punk band.
“Suitland High School Theme Song” is an awesome kick-out-the-stops song you can—nay, will—scream along to, perfect for the days when you wish it were 1997 again so you could act the angry teenager and smash guitars. Because that’s what I did when I was 17, smash guitars all day. Or, you know, pretended to smash guitars all day, jumping around the bedroom with my arms in the air until I knocked something over and cut my foot or something. Ah, youth.
