Hey, apparently you don’t need just three chords to make it in punkrock. Three songs are all you need! This is proven by The Holy Mess, an outfit operating out of Philadelphia. On “Benefit Sesh” they take you on a joyride with plenty of catchy hooks, shouted vocals and a general sense of fun.

Two of the songs are included on this 7”, the third one you can download with the coupon that comes with the vinyl. Think Latterman, Larry Arms or The Menzingers. The only downside I can think of is that this is just three songs long. I don’t know about you but I’m ready for a full-length by these guys right this second. What’s that? You don’t especially like this? Fuck you… I don’t want to be your friend.

Lacking the talent to actually play in a band, Tom decided he would write about bands instead. Turns out his writing skills are mediocre at best as well.
