46 SHORT – TRUTH DENIED

If you’re searching for striking musical innovation, that’s really not what the Beltones are about, but if you’re looking for a solid dose of old-school-inspired punk, then Cheap Trinkets may be just your pint of lager. Bill McFadden and Bob Sessions crank their guitars with plenty of downstroke fury and just enough melody to keep you listening; Will Thomas and Mike Mutti hold down the rhythm with authority and muscle, and while McFadden’s growling bellow doesn’t have a lot of range, he packs more than enough dramatic impact to compensate.
