f there's one thing World War IX has made clear with their debut album PANIC ATTACK, it's that simplicity is a good thing. This 11-track disc is filled with good ol' three-chord East Coast punk rock. No need for flashy sound effects and extravagant guitar solos. The catchy vocals from Max Strum and bouncy guitar riffs from guitarist Justin Melkmann make for an upbeat feeling that has your foot tapping though out the duration of the album. They also threw in a surprise by covering GG Allin's "New York Tonight". PANIC ATTACK has the feeling of a classic punk album. It's raw sound makes for a real treat for anyone who enjoys no-thrills, no-frills East Coast punk rock. Surf on by their Website for more info on this four-piece band from NYC.
