Considering they're a revival of the real thing, the Stitches are actually pretty good. Though they specialize in a dirty, garage-y brand of punk, à la the Addicts or the Stooges, there is a crispness to their sound quality (Protools, anyone?). Their drumming is particularly thunderous, and their vocals are as snotty as they come. You'd never know they formed in the late 1990s.

The Stitches did NOT form “in the late 1990s” ! Rag burp race to the bottom !
