Nameless Faces { vinyl }

Limited vinyl LP-only pressing 2015 debut from The Stops - self-described as "five girls playing punk." Nameless Faces definitely adds to Portland's reputation for dark melodic punk (see also: Observers, Red Dons). The Stops have cultivated a unique sound - combining seemingly disparate influences of the Wipers, Adolescents, and early Go-Go's. They kind of come off like an American counterpart to Terrible Feelings - except they're more straight-forward punk rock and not quite as bleak.
