In this day and age, with all the freedom at one's fingertip via computers and production equipment, to bring any song to life with the infinite amount of possibilities regarding overblown production and over-ambitious arranging, it's no wonder many bands end up twiddling and tweaking themselves into oblivion.

Los Angeles pop punkers Together Pangea have a knack for making EP’s. Their latest on offer is Non Stop Paranoia (Nettwerk Records). Five songs in 12 minutes doesn’t sound like much, but once again the band have managed to say a lot in little time while slightly changing up their direction at the same time.
