Produced by Cliffy Huntington, Fred and the Savages' Burn Baby Burn is an eleven-minute EP that delivers what it promises -- burning through six tortured larynx songs that can be described, at least sonically, as old-school punk rock without too much tongue-in-cheek.

Track five stands out lyrically with a rousing mockery of hardcore tuff kids.
