Iron Chic has done it again. The Long Island group's discography has been really solid thus far, even with relatively little change. Just good reliable pop punk.
Spooky Action is almost a more compressed version of 2010's "Not Like This." The opener "Spooky Action at a Distance," starts with a wayward guitar intro, transitioning into a driving drumbeat, reminiscent of songs from their LP. I'd criticize this for being formulaic, but the formula works so well. "Less Rest for the Restless" is another driving pop punk anthem about not sleeping and thinking about death and general good stuff to yell about. The only outlier here is their cover of Butthole Surfer's "Goofy's Concern" with a guitar intro that I can only call spooky. The rest of the song isn't too far removed from the band's sound. Overall, solid EP. And at only 3 songs, its the perfect length for listening to between classes, on the bus, on the toilet, etc. Pay this band money.
