Excerpt: Anthems with a capital A. Riffs non-stop, incredibly liberating to hear and which will pull your fist into the air. They show up on the second half of 'Sonic Who' and they pulled me in for sure.

the Treatment
Rich Man Dreams 7”
(Tense Forms)

Chicagoland loud boy brood band whose weaknesses – namely an overtly emotional and somewhat generic outpouring of emotion on “Doublespeak” (as there really is no drama in yelling “what you said/what you did” over and over) – are largely compensated for by significant anthemic elements. Anthems with a capital A. Riffs non-stop, incredibly liberating to hear and which will pull your fist into the air. They show up on the second half of “Sonic Who” and they pulled me in for sure. Silkscreened sleeve is nice, and when you buy this single you can unlock access to these songs and two more at the band’s website. But still. Anthems. Heroics. These are cherishable concepts. Good enough.
