Crashing into being with a punky surf drum intro that sounds like it should have Joey Ramone yelping “Hey Ho! Let’s Go!” over it, Golden Girls’s Amateur Teen Sex Attics is the kind of noisy, anarchic, fast pop-punk that gets played over compilation videos of boys wiping out on their skateboards.
A screwdriver guitar drills behind a falsetto male lead and snarling backing vocals, rattling out a blistering, lo-fi racket of rambunctious bedlam. The melody is upbeat but with lyrics telling of suburban boredom screamed full blast, the sound is cheap, angry fun. Winding itself up with a truncated guitar solo and a frustrated howl, the song cartwheels into an over-excitable coda of high-pitched yelps; doo! doo! doo! And that’s it.
