The long-running dance-punk group !!! were on a hot streak during the 2010s, releasing one window-rattling, dancefloor-filling album after another. As If and Shake the Shudder are loose-limbed, hard-edged, and full of the kind of passion that drives the best kind of dance music. 2019's Wallop utilizes a similar formula of disco, dance-punk, and house, and the same basic cast of characters to create something similar, if updated a little for modern tastes. The album is fun and pleasingly propulsive, especially when Meah Pace adds her fiery vocals. "Off the Grid" and "This Is the Door" have the powerful punch of vintage !!! and her input boosts the acid-funk groover "My Fault" up a notch or two. Other songs have some nice touches, like the tight French Touch guitars and sped-up vocals on "Couldn't Have Known" or the electro breaks on "Rhythm of the Gravity." ~ Tim Sendra
