Obits returns with Moody, Standard and Poor, the follow-up to their 2009 debut, I Blame You. Led by Rick Froberg of Drive Like Jehu and Hot Snakes and Sohrab Habibion of Edsel, plus bassist Greg Simpson and drummer Scott Gursky, Obits plays hard-driving garage rock with plenty of attitude to support the serious musical chops these guys possess. The album has great energy, and Frobert and Habibion’s guitarwork really lends each track its own personality, from the surf-rock tinged “Standards” to the rockabilly “I Want Results.” And after listening to this, it’s pretty clear that a live Obits show must be pretty fantastic. Froberg’s vocals are impassioned and gritty and Gursky’s drumming is top notch. This is a great album to get the blood pumping and your feet moving. – Written by DBosket
