TOTAL VACATION + ANIMATED VIOLENCE - TV/AV SPLIT
More Looney Tunes-flavored hardcore punk. ANIMATED VIOLENCE from Orange County with TOTAL VACATION from Los Angeles. Are those places different enough to need a distinction? I don't know I live like 1,900 miles away, I'm sure it's important to them.
One side you got ANIMATED VIOLENCE, tried and true furious styles. This is west coast HARDCORE PUNK. A distinct style difference from the current trending styles creeping in every scene from the Upper Midwest to the Southeast. Exactly what you need to cleanse your palate. Clean, twangy, fun, and no fluff. "Super Toys Last All Summer Long" is THE track. I'm slamming soda, taping all the empty cans together to make a sword, then using it to mosh with in my bedroom to this, taking out all the fake freaks along the way. TOTAL VACATION gives you 14 tracks of a similar vibe, different blend. Hints of, dare I say, fastcore here? Frantic and rowdier. I wanna skateboard to this music and then throw rocks at trains with my friends. The kinda shrill vocals, melodic gang vocals, the lower recording fidelity. This feels like music from just a different time and place. Out of place in 2026, this is a compliment. Favorite track gotta be "Pick Up Game", 35 seconds of just blastin' and thrashin'.
