Like Women and Wire before them, Trust Punks specialize in contrasting beauty and brutality: While their rhythm section churns like a rusty chainsaw blade, their guitars thrash into a melodic blur. The New Zealanders excel at these kinds of unforced contrasts, particularly on “Good Luck With That,” an incisive post-punk blast about America's prison industrial complex that's a million miles more exhilarating than you'd imagine such a complex topic could sound. Frontman Joseph Thomas gets inside the minds of the oppressors and how they legitimize incarceration to counterbalance a recessive economy: “Turns out they're quite easy to catch below the poverty line.” His ability to inhabit their justification is chilling—“You got your rights/You got suburban fears”—but his Kiwi accent's natural sneer exposes the depth of his disgust as he rages from inside the machine.
