Beach Slang – ‘Who Would Ever Want Anything So Broken?’

Philadelphia’s Beach Slang open their debut EP with a line that should resonate with a lot of members of the punk scene: “I’m a slave to always fucking up. It’s not okay, but maybe it’s enough,” James Synder sings on the first track, ‘Filthy Luck’. “Turn the amps
