Front to back, Slutever deliver Almost Famous with a sneer. Amid shouts of “smother me!” and “nobody loves anybody,” LA punks Rachel Gagliardi and Nicole Snyder craft huge, heaving grunge blasts that smell like stale cigarettes and taste like last night’s regret. Wake up hungover as fuck, look around discouraged, go right back to bed Almost Famous confronts grown-up problems with anxiety and unpreparedness: “Now that you’re older, things aren’t much better/ It starts to look bad when you can’t pay your rent.” Yeah, that’s bad, but at least Slutever are stumbling through it with style.
