Press Reviews Portrait of Poverty POP is from the old school. They play punk hardcore that is a time warp back into the '80's where people "slam danced" and every other punk had a mohawk or bleached hair. Every song is a reflection of their past, from real lows in their lives to just smoking weed and having fun. The clouds of ganja that permeate in their heads definitely add a more stoner-rock influence to their music, but it's still punk rock. These guys have been together for so long (since Sept. '92) that they know how to put on a live show. Shawn's guitar solos are like Ace Frehley imitations while his vocals are so rough they could scrape paint off a car. Flash's rhythm's and backing vocals are always on. With drums that can't slow down and a driving bass, it all comes together in a sound that hits you like a truck. Go watch POP so you can learn how to rock.
