Punk rock needs a shot in the arm and, surprisingly, a four piece from the Chicagoland area might be the answer. The word surprisingly is used because the four members are siblings, two males and two females, and none are even old enough to vote. Perhaps they aren’t as affected by the twists and turns of the genre’s fortunes over the past decades, the long standing fashion statements and formulas, and thus can write and rock out with unfettered freedom. Each of the four songs on their second EP, For the People, burns bright with this quality. They are obviously well versed in the genre’s history and its musical requirements, but they likewise stamp everything with a shocking amount of identity for such a young group of players and songwriters. There’s never any feeling that the Dombrowskis are a studio concoction. Numerous live appears have honed their innate chemistry to a fine point and listeners will finish this brief collection quite satisfied by everything they will hear.
