Starter Jackets from Springfield, IL are back with a brand new 4 song EP of catchy punk grooviness. Starter Jackets from Springfield, IL are back with a brand new 4 song EP. Splitting the song writing duties right in half between Luke McNeil (The Copyrights, Hospital Job) and Lanny Durbin (Local Drags) just like their debut LP. Luke and Lanny's distinct voices are rounded out by Fred Malcom on drums and newcomer Carter Bibbs on bass. The juxtaposition of fuzzy and pop-ladden vocals against bouncy synths and and memorable hooks will make you wonder why bands are still even putting out EP's anymore. These are all tunes that should be on a Side A of a new album. Fans of the band can expect more of the same, and in the best way. The songwriting is up there with the best in the pop-punk world and anyone familiar with these guys' other bands can atest to that. FFO: The Copyrights, Direct Hit!, All American Rejects
