The Authorities ‎– Puppy Love (LP)

The Authorities deliver a snarling, high-energy attack across 14 short, explosive tracks. The album clocks in at lightning speed, with many tracks—such as the microscopic 13-second "Nobody Likes Him"—lasting under two minutes. Musically, it is a ferocious blend of primitive garage punk and early West Coast hardcore, defined by abrasive guitar tones, driving basslines, and cynical, snotty vocals.

Despite the blistering tempos, reviewers and fans frequently note that the album avoids the trap of repetitive "blur" that plagues lesser punk releases. The instrumentation features surprisingly complex layers and highly memorable hooks, cementing it as an all-time favorite for collectors of regional American punk.
