“If your senior prom had morphed into a punk rock show, Sidewatcher would be the band tearing up the stage. Or, if you missed prom, this feral trio would provide the soundtrack to your night of plotting revenge for being jilted.

They’re a hot rod that takes corners on two wheels and barbed wire wrapped around sugar cane.”
