My faith in punk was restored today.
Edmonton’s Choke recently released their fourth album, There’s a Story to This Moral, on Smallman Records. The disc beautifully captures the essence that drives their live performances and sends their fans into a moshing frenzy.
Singers Jack Jaggard and Clay Shea work the vocals back and forth, allowing the band to work intense harmonies and strong range. Songs such as the anthemesque “Every Word,” provide listeners with an instantly attainable sing along, while “Fallout Leader” shows the band’s mastery of their instruments.
Choke is living proof that bands can play punk and have talent too.
