The songs don’t all sound the same, but they all have a common theme: rhythmic music that would sound great live. It’s mostly male-led, but there is a woman that sings every now and then. All the tracks are solid, which is another way of saying that none of them stand out either.
I always thought that it would be interesting to hear what Operation Makeout would sound like if Jesse sang more, and now I know. They would sound like Ketman. Ketman’s sound is not as distinct as theirs, but it’s about as close as it gets. You can definitely hear the passion.
Many would label Ketman as punk. I don’t know. I think it’s music that fans of punk rock would like. Nobody ever orders cheese toast at Sizzler, but everyone is happy to eat it when it’s set in front of them.
“Chemists Fighting” has the lead singer doing his Jello Biafra impression. Although the impression fails, the song itself is great. Ketman will be fine just by rockin’ out. No need to try so hard.
