Born Readies' latest album, Mean Genes, is a powerful and energetic collection of rock anthems that showcase the band's raw talent and unbridled passion. From the opening track, "Take Me Down," to the closing ballad, "Goodbye," the album is a non-stop ride of hard-hitting riffs, thunderous drum beats, and soaring vocals.
The band's sound is heavily influenced by classic rock and punk, with nods to bands like The Clash, The Ramones, and The Stooges. However, they manage to put their own spin on these genres, creating a sound that is both familiar and refreshing.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Bad News," a fast-paced, guitar-driven song that perfectly captures the band's punk energy. Another highlight is "Better Off Dead," a slower, more introspective track that showcases the band's ability to write meaningful lyrics.
