Samesies have us convinced that Rumbletowne doesn’t exist in the Pacific Northwest—rather, it’s alive and well in the North Atlantic. Like the RVIVR (or any of the other Latter-day saints), this St. John’s outfit plays serotonin-drip pop-punk exactly the way it ought to sound: Perfectly imperfect and spilling at the seams with patchwork sing-alongs. Atop racing power chords and yelled-until-our-voice-cracks boy-girl vocals, Samesies construct music that feels unmistakably communal and refreshingly inclusive. The gang vocals on “Sad Sand Song” and “Bastard Kid” aren’t the mechanized military chants of chongocore, but rather, they invite everyone to join in on the participaction. Hal and Joanne would be proud.
