about

"Four new tracks and a Wipers cover! Looking both inward and out on the world with a both cyclical and hopeful eye and ultimately just saying STOP, think, and wait a minute. This batch of songs were all written within a couple of months with the intention of getting on to tape while they were still fresh. The need for them to feel raw and not over rehearsed was purposeful, like a ’60’s garage band or early punk recording, all the energy and no filler, immediate and urgent.”// Abir Mahmud, NEW NOISE MAGAZINE

"An anthemic punk punch that will leave an undeniable impression upon first listen. With cryptic electricity and ferocious brevity, the band is as explosive as they are emotive." // GLIDE MAGAZINE

"Punk preachers mixing critical thought with a no-frills, kick-ass hybrid of garage rock/punk music – unapologetic, but sincere in their direct vision and unvarnished execution." // THE BIG TAKEOVER

"Local trio The Mistons show up here on this new EP to remind the world scruffy power pop is alive and well and will worm its way into your noggin like Kahn’s brain leeches in Star Trek. “Contagious” starts things off and this song is catchy as the cold in a packed school bus full of snot-nosed 4th graders in winter. Most of these five songs are short, spunky, and to-the-point, although mid-point track, “I Can’t Stay”, slows things down a bit but remains just as hum-able. The record closes with a cover of “Wait A Minute” by the Wipers, which makes sense from the perspective of being a local institution. Yet while I often feel like under their energetic punk exterior The Wipers were often kind of dour (much like our frequently cloudy/rainy Northwest skies) The Mistons are far too jumpy and play like someone lit a fire under their asses for this cover to sound emotionally pouty. There’s a hecka cool etched B-side art for you to gaze upon and that, along with just “Contagious” and “Brikka Brakka Firecracker” are worth the price of admission alone." // Ryan Canavan, HANGING HEX BLOG

"Portland, Oregon punk/garage rock band The Mistons keep it pretty simple musically, and that works perfectly well for them. Mining influences from both musical heroes and their work as painters, the group kicks up a sugary racket with chunky songs that are backed by lyrical heft.
A stand-out on their latest EP is the raucous three minute stomper “Brikka Brakka Firecracker”. The fuzzy bass lines, thumping drum and ripping guitars are almost the soft part of the song, as the vocals attack each line with a raw, throat-shredding intensity. With lines like “Brikka brakka firecracker, it’s moving mountains is what we’re after”, you gotta sell them with spit, piss and vinegar, and The Mistons got buckets full of it. // B. Liebman, THE INDY REVIEW- BANGER OF THE WEEK

World Of Convenience
by The Mistons

supported by 21 fans who also own “Extended Play”

World of Convenience takes you back to the days when punk actually meant something, all while keeping relevant with what's going on today. Drawing influence from bands like Dead Moon, Wipers, and Black Flag, World of Convenience delivers on all levels, with super loud thrashing guitars and bass, drums that feel like a punch to the gut, and Sean's lyrics that are fraught with truth. Overall, I feel this is the best punk rock album to come out in a looong time! Sully Holmes

Coriky

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer

When The Wind Forgets Your Name

Sure, maybe my ears are ruined by the loudness wars, but it's hard to believe that this mix is the sound anyone was looking for. Every element sounds buried and distant to me, which is a shame since the songs are top-notch. Let's have a 13-month anniversary remix, eh? raeforr
