Local San Diego band Kut U Up* have chilled out. Apparently, it took a while. More than ten years\u00a0have passed since they put out Pulled Over\u2026Your Eyes Are Telling Me Different Son,\u00a0<\/i>and starred in the documentary Riding in Vans with Boys<\/i>. Now, blowing in\u00a0on a hot desert wind from a studio in El Cajon, comes the self-produced EP Worse Than Wolves<\/i>. <\/i>You\u2019ll be surprised if you\u2019re looking for a return to the in-your-face punk style of Pulled Over<\/i>, which\u00a0had some catchy melodies but mostly levels turned up to the point of distortion. This album shows a marked departure from the former release, exhibiting maturity while maintaining a punk sensibility. It\u2019s only weak point is lyrically\u2014some songs are\u00a0overly repetitive or lacking in progression. This is countered by the strength of the music itself. I had expected there might be the typical thrashing about and indecipherable lyrics. Instead, lead singer Chris Cote has toned down his voice, and at this new, calmer level he sounds a bit like Perry Farrell (Jane’s Addiction). The band overall sounds tight and melodic, and seems quite focused on the work at hand.<\/p>\n
