Check this recently discovered review from Geekburger.com.....to be even mentioned in the same sentence with the mighty Fucked Up is pretty friggin awesome !
Goin' South was released way back in September, 2007, rendering it "old news" by now, but it's no less worth a listen after aging for six months. Comprised of gruff, driving punk rock and heaps of classic, rocked-out guitar riffs and leads, the record is catchy despite its lack of big vocal hooks and energetic without being overly aggressive. Vocally and occasionally musically, Goin' South reminds me of the elusive Fucked Up and their Hidden World effort, but Killing California is ultimately much more direct and straightforward in their approach.
I like the balance Killing California has found. I like even more that Goin' South is a punk rock record with just a tasteful amount of rock n' roll swagger -- a nice change of pace when, more often than not, it's the forced swagger that gets bands places. This is a fun little record
