I'll admit that I judged by the pictures and expected Agata to be a B-grade Misfits or goth tinged pop-punk. On their second album, "Horror Stories", Agata serve up a dish of tight 80's style skater thrash. The opening track is melodic hardcore of the early 7 Seconds variant. The title track exists in a world where nomeansno cover the Descendents and vice versa. The song channels both these bands with great punk rythms and slightly shouted vocals. If you like any of the bands mentioned in this review, you should go straight to Agata's bandcamp and check this album by this Oakland trio out.
4/5
