A memorable rocker meshing snarling guitars with dreamy vocal harmonizing, “Repeat Offender” is the latest single from Philadelphia-based band Snap Infraction. The duo of Steve Karsch and Tony Iannuzzi craft a sound that balances the hook-friendly immediacy of power-pop with an enjoyably raucous garage-rock sound. The “when the mirror stares right back at you,” hook charms in the power-pop vein, the reflective backing vocals adding wonderfully. The psychedelic bridge past the two-minute mark traverses with a definitive psychedelic-pop character, driving seamlessly into the delectable central hook for one final go-around. Snap Infraction capped off 2021 in excellent form with their sixth single of the year in “Repeat Offender.”
