"The band’s new EP, Invitation, is a pleasing mix of straight-ahead punk rock—check out the rousing “Sally Joe” video, for example—and the aforementioned musical styles. Sticks plays bass and sings, sounding a little like Rob Halford of Judas Priest (the non-screaming version of Halford) and Ozzy Osbourne during the early Black Sabbath days. His bandmates, Don King and Dan Powell, play a mean guitar and drums, respectively. The band’s EP comes and goes way too fast, so it’s good to hear that Bristle has much on its agenda in the coming months."
