Think chugging guitars, poppy fretwork, and big hooks. “Glenn Spaghetti Legs,” which is technically the title track, reads like something between the Loved Ones, Weezer, and Jeff Rosenstock. It was good stuff, the kind of stuff you want to hear coming out of small bands-the kind of music that makes you think: maybe in a couple of years, when all my favorite bands have broken up, the wheel of punk will continue to turn.While this isn’t quite Lost Love’s ghost-of-Christmas-future, it is a solid two-song EP that shows them growing into their sound.

It’s called Old Scratch, and it officially dropped last Friday (August 23rd) on.
