'Here We Come' is the debut studio album from this blue-collar punk band from Omaha, Nebraska. The opener "Just Like You" stresses the connection between the band and their audience; "Punk's Not Dead" seems to be stating the obvious and though it ticks all the punk rock boxes it slightly misses the mark; while "Yahweh" has the first overtly Christian lyric on the album with a chorus proclaiming "Yahweh or no way at all." "We Live" plays with Two-Tone and street punk producing a catchy mix and "Red White And True" with its Clash overtones and an 'Anarchy In The UK' vibe is one of the strongest tracks. The problem I have with this album is that it's punk light. Sure, it has some catchy guitars and choruses and some of the lyrics hit home and it's all well played. But, and it's a big but, there is a distinct lack of energy and angst especially in the vocals. So it all sounds a little flat.
