ATP! Album Review: Pentimento - S/T

Pentimento may have only been on the march for two years, but you wouldn't be able to tell that from their music. The band approaches punk at a very stripped-back level, harking back to the roots of bands like Hot Water Music, Brand New and Jimmy Eat World, but there are elements of early Alkaline Trio and Thrice rearing their heads as well. It’s tempting to think that Pentimento is a love letter to punk music, but that would be too narrow a definition of a band that have expanded on the music they love and moulded it into a shape they know they would want to hear.

This self-titled album plays along with the greatest hits of a genre, with fast and brutal title track ‘Unless’ moving into the slower and almost melancholic ‘Circles’, which, despite the pace change, turns out to be an album highlight, sporting the same gang backing that impressed a world of music fans coming from Aficionado recently.
