Masked Intruder – ‘Love And Other Crimes’

It’d be easy to dismiss Masked Intruder as a novelty pop-punk band.

The four members are all anonymous and wear different coloured ski masks to differentiate themselves while singing catchy, whimsical songs about love and life, usually from behind bars. While that’s all true, it’s nevertheless hard to deny that the youthful abandon of ‘Running From The Cops’ and the humorous, restraining order romanticism of ‘Still Always On My Mind’ are thoroughly enjoyable.

This EP isn’t anything that’ll redefine the genre, it’s just pure fun, but there’s nothing wrong with that.
