Once again I find myself loving a record and absolutely hating it's artwork. Smartbomb's new EP, Chaos and Lawlessness, should definitely win the worst artwork of the year award and it was only just released this past February.

Other than that though, this is an amazing record. Smartbomb seem to pick up where Kid Dynamite left off and throw in some East Bay influence. The sound doesn't come as too much of a surprise considering that two of the members are formerly of No Trigger.

This is one of those records that really makes you believe in punk rock again. It's so rare that you hear a record in this vein anymore where the band doesn't feel like it's just going through the motions to push out another release. That passion really comes through on Chaos and Lawlessness and is what will hopefully save this record and band from falling into obscurity.

If you love real, honest punk rock and miss the days when the bands that populate said genre were still passionate about what they do, then give this record a chance.
