Montreal’s DIG IT UP is an interesting bunch o’ kids with their punk n’ roll tunes that gallop along with a pummeling rhythm section, two guitars that trade off sharp & textured parts and vocals that mix gang vocals of punk rock days of yore with gargle-with-gravel bellows. At the surface the whole package seems rough like sandpaper, but there’s a strong sense of melody & catchiness here as these guys & gal remember the days when good ol’ down home rock n’ roll was fun, keeping things melodic, driving and raw.
