The guitars gather like a thundercloud, buzzing with electricity, threaded through with the sweet smirk of melody. On their fifth full-length, the loud but tuneful San Francisco outfit known as Pardoner attempts the same balance of hard and soft/heartfelt and sarcastic as Hüsker Dü, Pavement, Teenage Fanclub, and Ovlov.
Bandcamp Daily called Came Down Different, “their sharpest, most enjoyable record yet, and one that feels refreshingly smart-ass, even for a group as seemingly dedicated to mocking their own existence as Pardoner.” It’s hard to decipher lyrics since both vocalists, Max Freeland and Trey Flanigan, are singing against a deafening assault of guitars/bass and drums, however, Target Practice feels a bit more earnest, a bit less…
