Niek || Add To Wantlist The Chives are pretty loud for a lo-fi band. They act pretty tough as well. They call your mom a bitch, they buy guns, do drugs and steal your candy. You’d almost miss the sweet and catchy bubblegum pop that’s underneath their loud and fuzzy guitars. Favorite track: Don't Leave Me Alone.

Sigourney_Weaver lo-fi? fucking excuse is what that is. constantly talking about weed. sounds like toddlers. Favorite track: Your Mom's A Bitch.

Daniel Taylor First half of The Chives Buy Guns song sounds like it would be comfortable on a Propeller-era GBV album, and then it gets really good during the 2nd half. This album represents why I love indie rock. It’s unpredictable, it’s spastic and it is just plain fun to listen to. Favorite track: The Chives Buy Guns.

about

"Out of the trailer park and into the smoking remains of a midtown deli, barking like a mad dog smoking menthols, The Chives are defined by how much they suck and not much else. Generations of horrible fathers bang their heads in approval of their children's fruitless efforts. They claim to have smoked so many spliffs that medical doctors believe marijuana can no longer effect them, but the layman would just assume they were wrecked all the time. So spread them on your bagel, then spread your legs, because one thing is for sure: The Chives are here to fuck."

Since purchasing I return again and again to this collection of tunes that cover a range of 90's-influenced guitar rock styles. The mostly bite-sized songs make me both appreciate that Gaadge don't beat a good tune to death and leave me wanting more. Fact Checker23
