Lemuria :: Get Better


Lemuria
Get Better
Asian Man Records


Lemuria are somewhat of an anomaly within the music world; they are a little too poppy to fall into the punk category, but a little too punk to fall into the pop category. Highlighted by the insanely melodic vocals of front-lady Sheena Ozzella and armed with intricate, abnormal and slightly off tempos, time signatures and strong structures, Lemuria have a way of bending their genre into a style of “pop-punk” completely all their own. There is no semblance of a chorus or a hook anywhere to be found on this record, yet, Lemuria will have you singing along from the opening track “Pants,” all the way until the record winds down with “Mechanical.” Essentially, no matter how you cut it, Get Better is without question one of the poppiest punk rock records to come out in a long, long time
